Introduction
The Pharmacology Department at the Institute of Dentistry, CMH Lahore Medical College, is committed to providing a rigorous and comprehensive education in pharmacology, emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical application. Our curriculum covers core topics such as pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, clinical pharmacology, and toxicology, tailored specifically for the undergraduate dental students.
We employ innovative teaching methods, including case-based learning, interactive lectures, and hands-on laboratory exercises, to engage students and deepen their understanding of drug actions and therapeutic principles. Our assessment methods are multifaceted, combining written examinations, objective structured practical examinations (OSPEs), and oral examinations, to ensure a thorough grasp of pharmacological concepts and clinical relevance.
The department fosters a research-oriented environment. We have a well-equipped laboratory with state-of-the-art facilities to carry out in-vitro studies for better understanding of drugs mechanisms of action and dose related effects.
