The MD in Respiratory Medicine at Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences, Shimoga is a three‑year postgraduate clinical programme that trains physicians in the comprehensive care of patients with respiratory disorders. The department emphasises a broad spectrum of respiratory health issues — from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma to interstitial lung diseases, infections, pleural diseases, and critical care in pulmonary conditions. With access to the institute’s multi‑specialty teaching hospital, trainees gain hands‑on experience in advanced respiratory diagnostics, pulmonary function testing, sleep studies, and interventional procedures where available. The programme blends clinical exposure, research opportunities, academic seminars, and supervised patient care to equip graduates with the knowledge and practical ability to manage complex pulmonary cases and contribute to pulmonary healthcare, teaching, and research.
