351 Surgery

Dear Student,

 

         It is our pleasure on behalf of the Department of Surgery to welcome you at the start of your course and wish you the best of luck with your studies.  It is our duty to see that the time is well spent and the course objectives are fully satisfied.  We have found the study of Surgery to be fascinating as well as gratifying.  We wish you experience the same feeling.

 

         Medical students are distinguished from students of other scientific studies by dealing with the human beings.  When entering the medical college, students are enthusiastic to reach this point.

 

         An important cornerstone in medicine is taking history and clinical examination of the patients to demonstrate the normal and abnormal signs.  Inspite of the advancement of medical investigations there will be no substitute to proper history taking and conducting clinical examination.

 

         Teaching in medicine is the result of the collaboration of three persons, the students, the teacher and the patient. However, out of these three the student is the most important.  He/she will stimulate the teacher to give more and by dealing with patients generally as a human being, will gain more cooperation and hence better findings.

 

         I look forward to both the teachers and the student of this course to a very fruitful period of their life.
