GITAM medical students bag ICMR projects

Visakhapatnam: GITAM Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (GIMSR) medical students have received prestigious Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Short Term Studentship Programme for the academic year 2019.

The Indian Council of Medical Research initiated the Short Term Studentship Programme in 1979 in order to promote interest and aptitude for research among medical undergraduates. The main objective of this programme is to provide an opportunity to undergraduate medical students to familiarise themselves with research methodology and techniques by being associated for a short duration with their seniors on ongoing research program or by undertaking independent projects.

GIMSR medical students submitted various research projects to ICMR. Finally three projects namely "Pre Diabetes" project submitted by Shreya Manchala under the guidance of Dr.V.Goutham, "Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome" project submitted by P.Pallavi under the guidance of Dr.Divya Darshini and "Depression" project submitted by D.Sneha guided by Dr.B.Srividya were selected as best projects by ICMR.
