Medhomadhan

SIBAR Institute of Dental Sciences formed an undergraduate research club in 2017. The Institutional Research Committee (IRC) conducts scientific deliberations for undergraduate students under the title “Medhomadhan”. This is the first of its kind initiative among dental colleges in the Telugu speaking states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

The objective of this program is to inculcate scientific temper among students and help them achieve greater academic heights. The institution provides free registration to IDC national conferences for undergraduate students who participated in Medhomadhan. So far, 357 undergraduate students participated in Medhomadhan since 2017 and published 29 scientific papers in peer-reviewed indexed journals.
