JNMC Pharmacology Residents Explore Medical Heritage and Modern Practices Through Educational Tour

Aligarh, April 27: In alignment with the directives of the University Grants Commission (UGC) under the National Education Policy 2020 and recommendations of the National Medical Commission (NMC) emphasizing experiential learning, an educational tour was organized for the first-year postgraduate residents of the Department of Pharmacology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).

As part of this initiative, the residents visited the Ibn Sina Academy of Medieval Medicine and Sciences, a recognized Centre of Excellence under the Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India.

During the visit, the residents were introduced to the historical progression of medicine, beginning from ancient and medieval practices to contemporary scientific advancements. The Academy provided valuable insights into traditional systems of medicine, particularly Unani medicine, and their integration with modern healthcare approaches. Exhibits, manuscripts, and scholarly resources at the Academy helped participants appreciate the continuity and transformation of medical knowledge across centuries.

The educational tour was designed not only to enhance academic understanding but also to instil an appreciation for India’s indigenous medical systems, which are increasingly being recognized globally for their relevance in integrative medicine.

Notably, the Department of Pharmacology has been actively organizing similar educational tours to key national institutions and pharmaceutical industries. These include visits to the Indian Pharmacopoeia Commission (IPC), which plays a critical role in setting drug standards in India, and the Pharmacopoeia Commission for Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy (PCIM&H), which is responsible for the standardization of traditional medicines. Exposure to pharmaceutical companies further provided residents with insights into drug development, manufacturing practices, and regulatory frameworks.

The program was well-received by the residents, who found the experience enriching and instrumental in broadening their understanding of pharmacology in both traditional and modern contexts.
