On the occasion of National Doctor’s Day, the Department of Microbiology, SGRRIM&HS, organized a special event on 1st July 2025 to honor the invaluable contributions of doctors and to foster academic creativity among budding doctors.
As part of the celebration, Second-year MBBS students , 2023 batch showcased a series of innovative microbiology-themed models, reflecting their understanding and creativity. The students presented models on a variety of microbiological topics, including Types of Antibodies, Mechanism of Action and Antibiotic Resistance, Microscopy in Malaria, Bacterial Cell Wall, Aspergillus Species, Rhabdovirus, and Influenza. These models were thoughtfully created under the guidance of postgraduate students and faculty members. Model making serves as an effective learning tool, enabling students to visualize complex microbiological concepts, enhance their understanding through hands-on application, and foster collaborative learning amongst students.
