Background of Medical museum:
Medical museum of IMU was officially opened
on 21st March 2001. Presently it is accommodated within the Learning Resources
centre along with the IMU Library.
The goal of setting up the medical museum
was to enhance the teaching-learning activities based on an integrated concept,
which is in line with the IMU Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing and
Bio-medical degree curriculum. The anatomical models, mounted gross anatomy
specimens, pathological specimens and charts are displayed according to the
body systems. Fixed learning modules (FLMs) in hard copies on pathology (gross
and histopathology), microbiology and parasitology are also available to be
used by the students. There is an imaging room where radiographs and CT scan
are displayed with labels and legends. Many CD ROMS, DVDs and videotapes are
available on Anatomy, Genetics, Immunology, Microbiology and Pathology.
Microscopic slides for learning histology and histopathology with microscopes
are available for revision by the students.
