We, from the Department of General Medicine, at Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences made high-quality research our top priority. Research within the field of General Medicine is crucial for advancing medical knowledge, improving patient outcomes, and implementing evidence-based medicine in practice. In our department, several research projects are currently underway, addressing a wide range of clinical issues.

I planned to teach them on how to convert theoretical knowledge in neurology into practice.  I organized the course in such a way that each theory/seminar topic is followed by a relevant case presentation and journal. Postgraduates are trained in the theoretical aspects of the topic in the first class, and in the second class, the main focus is on examination techniques, making differential diagnoses, how to order appropriate investigations, and discussions on the management plan....
