In the computer assisted laboratory the undergraduates are trained about the various effects of drugs on common laboratory animals. Clinical Research projects involving the MBBS students are being carried out every year.

• Adverse event reporting is carried out in the Pharmacovigilance program. The students are educated about the importance of reporting the adverse events to drugs and the guidelines for reporting. Pharmacovigilance week is celebrated every year in the month of September and the health care workers are sensitized regarding the adverse event reporting.
