Medical officers in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology play a vital role in diagnosing and managing infectious diseases. Their responsibilities include overseeing laboratory tests for microbial pathogens, interpreting diagnostic results, and collaborating with clinicians to guide patient treatment. They also ensure the proper implementation of infection control measures, assist in antimicrobial stewardship, and contribute to ongoing research and education in microbiology and parasitology. These officers help bridge the gap between the lab and clinical practice, improving patient outcomes through accurate diagnostics and effective treatment strategies.
