Course Description

Roga Vigyan Evum Vikriti Vigyan is a subject that gives emphasis on Ayurveda and contemporary
Diagnostics and Pathology. It is a key subject that trains the students to apply knowledge of
fundamental principles of Ayurveda to practice by understanding diseases, patient interaction,
drawing diagnosis, and prognosis. This is a strong base to frame an appropriate treatment protocol.

The curriculum is framed with a vision for developing the diagnostic knowledge and skills of a
student abiding by a patient-centric education. Activity-based training has been inculcated
throughout the curriculum to improve the dexterity of a student in handling real-life scenarios in the
journey of reaching a diagnosis. The anatomy and physiology learned in an apparently healthy
individual from the first professional year is continued in the second professional year with
knowledge regarding morbid reflections in the mind and body through this subject.

The sequence of knitting the points in theory and practical are carefully executed to maintain
rationality and continuity in learning from a clinical perspective. The basic principles of Vikriti vigyan
and their application in Roga nidan, Vyadhi vigyan and clinical diagnostics supported by
contemporary diagnostics are the core areas of the curriculum. The essential areas from
contemporary pathology and diagnostics are included with the objective to receive interdisciplinary
 integrated teaching. Some of the topics are defined for horizontal & vertical integration for better
understanding.
