Health Sciences Research drives evidence based health care and widens / deepens the knowledge base of the health discipline.The medical colleges offering health professional courses should foster research activities amongst faculty and students that would inculcate research aptitude amongst the present and the prospective health care professionals. Such research activities requires structure, plan and coordination. The SMU Research is formed with the mandate of coordinating all activities related to research of faculty / students across all health disciplines. This website provides all related information on research activities undertaken at our institute.
