Army College of Medical Science, New Delhi

The ACMS preclinical department is crucial to the development of medical education. It covers important topics like anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. The study of the human body's structure, including its organs, tissues, and the connections between them, is called anatomy. Through dissections, cadaveric studies, and advanced imaging methods, students learn about the intricacies of the human anatomy. Understanding how various organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis is the primary focus of physiology. Through lectures, laboratory experiments, and hands-on demonstrations, students acquire knowledge of physiological processes and mechanisms. Molecule biology, genetics, metabolism, and other aspects of living organisms are all studied in biochemistry. The role of biomolecules, the biochemical foundations of life, and the molecular mechanisms that underlie diseases are covered by students. At ACMS, the paraclinical department bridges the gap between clinical practice and the basic sciences. It covers a number of important topics that are essential for understanding, diagnosing, and treating diseases. The study of drugs and how they affect the human body is part of pharmacology. Through clinical case discussions, practical sessions, and theoretical classes, students learn about drug actions, interactions, adverse effects, and therapeutic uses. The study of diseases' causes, mechanisms, and symptoms is the primary focus of pathology. Through microscopic, laboratory, and diagnostic examinations, students learn to analyze a variety of pathological conditions. The study of microorganisms and the effects they have on human health is known as microbiology. Students learn about the roles that bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites play in infectious diseases as well as immunology. Forensic Medicine & Toxicology teaches students how to use medical expertise in crime investigation, postmortem examinations, and toxins identification by combining medical knowledge with legal issues. Preventive healthcare, public health, and epidemiology are the main focuses of community medicine. Community-based healthcare, healthcare systems, disease surveillance, and health promotion strategies are covered by the students. Students gain practical experience and apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world medical situations in the clinical department. It covers a wide range of specialties and subspecialties, exposing students to a variety of medical specialties. The comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of adult patients with a variety of medical conditions is known as general medicine. Under the direction of seasoned doctors, students learn to take thorough medical histories, carry out physical examinations, interpret diagnostic tests, and create treatment plans. Disorders of the skin, hair, and nails are the primary focus of dermatology. Dermatological conditions are recognized, skin biopsies are performed, and the appropriate treatment is provided to students. General surgeries to specialized fields like neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, and cardiovascular surgery are all included in the broad category of surgeries. Students learn about surgical methods, participate in patient care before, during, and after procedures, and observe surgeries. Women's health, including pregnancy, childbirth, reproductive health, and gynecological conditions, are the focus of obstetrics and gynecology. Prenatal care, labor management, and gynecological examinations are taught to students. The medical treatment of infants, children, and adolescents is the primary focus of pediatrics. Students learn about the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric diseases as well as the health, growth, and development of children. The study of psychiatry equips students with the knowledge and abilities necessary to comprehend, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions. The diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries are the primary focuses of orthopedics. Fractures, joint replacements, and rehabilitation are covered to students. The diagnosis and treatment of eye-related conditions are the focus of ophthalmology. Eye exams, vision tests, and surgical interventions are covered to students. Disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures are the primary focus of ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat). Endoscopic procedures, surgeries, ear exams, and audiology are all covered to students. ACMS ensures that its students receive a comprehensive medical education by providing a comprehensive curriculum that covers preclinical, paraclinical, and clinical topics. They are given the knowledge, abilities, and clinical experience they need through this education to become competent and compassionate healthcare professionals. ACMS aims to instill in its students empathy, professionalism, and a commitment to serving the nation and community. ACMS meets the specific requirements of the armed forces while simultaneously preparing its students for successful careers in the medical field through a combination of theoretical instruction, hands-on experience, and exposure to a variety of medical specialties.
