About Course

The Department of Pulmonary / Respiratory Medicine at AIMS Bellur is an established department, with a stated vision of becoming a centre for pulmonary care, research, and education.
As an MD Respiratory Medicine student at AIMS, you would receive training in diagnosis and management of a wide range of respiratory diseases — from common airway diseases (asthma, COPD), infectious diseases like tuberculosis and pneumonia, to critical care of respiratory failure, sleep-disorders, interstitial lung diseases, and other complex pulmonary conditions. The department emphasizes both clinical care and academic / research training.
Given the presence of a teaching hospital attached to AIMS with multi-specialty services, you can expect exposure to diverse patient load including inpatient and outpatient cases, providing adequate clinical exposure. This is important for building diagnostic, procedural, and management skills in pulmonology. The department's mission also includes community outreach and preventive respiratory health education, which may offer opportunities in public health, pulmonary rehabilitation, and community medicine integration.
Hostel accommodation and institutional support facilities (labs, hospital infrastructure, clinical departments) aid in creating a stable and conducive environment for postgraduate training.
Therefore, MD Respiratory Medicine at AIMS Bellur provides an opportunity for students to specialize in pulmonology with clinical, academic, and community-oriented training — preparing them for careers as pulmonologists, respiratory physicians, or further specialisation.
