Beginning with fundamental medical sciences, it covers respiratory system anatomy, relevant biochemical processes, and immunology and microbiology specific to chest diseases. Clinical skills are honed in history taking, examination techniques, and radiological interpretation. Proficiency in pulmonary function tests and emergency care is emphasized. The curriculum delves into various pulmonary diseases including COPD, interstitial lung diseases, and pleural disorders. Tuberculosis and mycobacterial diseases receive special attention, with students learning about epidemiology, diagnostics, treatment, and public health interventions. This program ensures graduates are well-prepared to diagnose, treat, and manage a range of chest-related disorders, particularly focusing on tuberculosis. The blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application equips them to make significant contributions to the field of respiratory medicine.
