M.D. Microbiology
M.D. Microbiology covers bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, and hospital infection control through structured laboratory and clinical training spread across three years. Residents train extensively in diagnostic microbiology techniques, including culture, sensitivity testing, serology, and molecular diagnostics, gaining precision in identifying pathogens across diverse clinical samples. Alongside laboratory work, residents actively participate in infection surveillance within hospital wards, contributing to infection-control protocols. This dual academic and applied exposure prepares them well for diagnostic laboratory practice or academic careers in medical microbiology.
