The Department of Pharmacology at Miri Piri Institute of Medical Science & Research provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how drugs act on the human body and how the body responds to them. As a crucial link between basic sciences and clinical medicine, pharmacology equips students with the knowledge required for rational drug use, therapeutic decision-making, and safe patient care.

The department combines classroom teaching, laboratory work, prescription training, and clinical case discussions, ensuring students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical competence. Special emphasis is placed on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, and clinical pharmacology, preparing students for their future roles as responsible prescribers and researchers.

By instilling principles of pharmacovigilance, evidence-based medicine, and ethical drug use, the department ensures that graduates are not only technically skilled but also mindful of their responsibility toward patient safety and public health.
