Dissection Hall

We have a vast Dissection Hall equipped with all necessities for undergraduate and postgraduate training. Mortuary & Embalming facilities and bone preparation modalities are so well established that they are catering for the needs of most of the medical colleges in Punjab.

In the spacious lecture theatre of department medical knowledge is imparted to a class of 250 or more students through audio / visual aids. We have a well equipped Histology Laboratory with all the facilities for preparing stained histological slides like automatic processor & microtome. For MBBS and BDS students general & special histology practicals are conducted for 2 hours every day who study General and Special Histology. The M. Phil students in addition study Cell Biology.

The facilities of this laboratory are also used for carrying out various research projects.

In the year 2005, 250 Part I and 270 Part II students were trained and examined for MBBS Ist Professional examination. 80 BDS and 90 Physiotherapy students were trained in the subject of General and Gross Anatomy and Histology. Five students successfully completed M.Phil. Part I and are now being trained for Part II. One student completed her final M.Phil. in the subject of Anatomy and one faculty member did Ph.D in Zoology. Eleven staff members are at various stages of M.Phil. leading to Ph.D programme and six faculty members are doing their Ph.D projects under the supervision of Prof. Atiya Khalid.
