Introduction :

MUPAC has a well established and full fledged department in Rognidan. The department has a spacious students’ lab, a museum and fulltime staff.

Rognidan-Vikrutividnyan is the groundwork of all the clinical subjects. The subject helps you to understand in depth the disease (Vyadhi-vidnyanam) & its pathogenesis (Samprapti Vidnyanam), the art & science of the clinical examination methods (Aatur or Rugna Parikshan Vidhi); the signs & symptoms or clinical features of the disease, the required investigations (Vyadhi pariksha vidhi) & the interpretation of their results as well. The subject deals with not only the diagnosis but also the prognosis (Sadhya-sadhyatwa) of any disease. Thus it renders the student to understand the philosophy as well as practicality of vyadhi-vidnyanam.

Objectives :

1. Our aim is to mould a BAMS graduate to be an authority in Rognidan- Vikrutividnyan & make him an Ayurvedic Post graduate with the “Heart of Modern Medicine but a Brain of Ayurved”.
2. We always strive to make the student to think, understand & learn the philosophy & the ethos of Rognidan & Vikrutividnyan. Our students shall be able to think & explain the etio-pathogenesis (samprapti) of newer diseases & also about other unexplained & unnamed diseases with the help of sound knowledge of "Nidan panchak" & Vyadhi Ghatak. Also they should be able to elaborate Samprapti of each disease with the help of different samhitas & to undertake a detailed comparative study of Ayurved & modern concepts of disease pathogenesis & clinical features. They should study & elaborate the Ayurvedic concepts of vyadhikshamatva, dhatwagnimandya etc. scattered in different samhitas.
3. We should enable them to carry out a fine balance between modern laboratory techniques for investigations & traditional skills for clinical diagnosis.

Departmental Features :

We are having a very well equipped teaching pathology lab for students. Almost 30 students can work at a time and each student gets separate microscope to study.
