M.D. Psychiatry
An M.D. in psychiatry focuses on mental health assessment, management, and de-addiction services through structured clinical exposure delivered across the three-year residency. Residents gain both outpatient and inpatient experience through the psychiatry department, along with structured involvement in the institute's Mental Health Programme, which reaches diverse community groups. This combination builds strong skills in diagnostic assessment, therapeutic counselling, and long-term management of psychiatric conditions across a diverse patient population. Training also emphasises de-addiction support, which prepares residents for both clinical and community mental health roles.
