Department of Clinical Sciences The Department of Clinical Sciences takes care of the courses on tropical medicine, tropical biomedical sciences and HIV/AIDS care in the postgraduate certificate courses. It is also responsible for the Short 20 | EDUCATION Course on Antiretroviral Therapy (SCART) and the newly developed Short Course on Clinical Research and Evidence-based Medicine (SCREM). The teaching on clinical HIV/AIDS management is amplified through the Telemedicine initiative and the upcoming E-SCART.
