Minimum Education

Zydus Medical College & Hospital, Dahod, received permission from the Medical Assessment & Rating Board (MARB), under the NMC, to start the MD Physiology course effective academic year 2024-25.
The sanctioned intake is 3 seats per year for this speciality.
As a basic science subject, the course is non-clinical; it is more focused on teaching physiology, research, labs, experimental work, practicals, and anatomy-physiology correlation etc. Students in Physiology often work in labs, conduct animal or human physiological experiments, learn biostatistics, physiological instrumentation, etc.
The institute’s Physiology department is expected to support foundational medical education (e.g., first year MBBS), assist in research, and possibly contribute to teaching others in allied medical disciplines.
Since this is a fairly new offering at Zydus, infrastructure such as lab setups, faculty recruitment, and recognition for the first batch are under regulation by NMC / MARB.
