About the Department

The Department of Psychiatry at Shillong Medical College provides comprehensive education and clinical training in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of mental health disorders. Through clinical postings, case discussions, and community outreach programmes, students gain practical experience in understanding and managing a wide range of psychiatric conditions across different age groups. With a strong emphasis on compassionate care, early intervention, and holistic approaches to mental well-being, the department prepares future doctors to recognize and address mental health concerns effectively. The training also promotes greater awareness of mental health and equips students to contribute meaningfully to the delivery of accessible and comprehensive mental healthcare services in the community.
