About Us
- The speed and confidence of an anaesthesiologist in securing the compromised airway necessitated their services in the emergency room and intensive care units, in addition to their primary role as perioperative physicians.
- The Anaesthesiology department in SRM MCH & RC was established in the year 2005. From a hospital with 2 OTs in 2004 the Department has undergone mammoth expansion with 16 State of the art modular theatres and 4 minor theatres at present.
- The first batch of postgraduates was enrolled in the year 2011 with 5 PGs which increased to 9 PGs right now. Every new batch of students undergo orientation to anaesthesiology in the very first month of joining.
- Our students undergo training in various procedures in the skill lab before getting exposed to patients in the theatres. Our passionate teachers dedicate themselves to training every student to perfection in the practice of administering anesthesia.
- We also ensure that our students have sound factual knowledge of concepts and ideas in anaesthesiology through an excellent academic program.
- The students have myriad opportunities to do research under the guidance of faculties with scientific fervor and undying zeal for innovation and creativity, which is reflected in the multiple articles published in reputed journals.
- We have a dedicated pain clinic providing pain services for chronic illnesses including malignancies.
- We pride ourselves in providing walking epidurals to parturients for a pain-free labor experience.
- PG Eligibility : Pass In MBBS or its Equivalent Degree recognized by NMC (Canditates completing the CRRI / CRMI on or before 31st March of the Year) NEET PG score as prescribed by NMC.
