Internship

The second year curriculum provides a sharper focus, allowing customisation to an individual's specific career aspirations. Towards the end of the second year the students are placed in different hospitals, pharmaceutical and healthcare organisations throughout the country and abroad for internship for a period of four months. This helps enhance the practical knowledge and skills of the students to supplement theoretical inputs provided in the classroom. The students are also required to carry out health services, research and submit a dissertation to the institute after this training.
