Bruce Dalton

probably closest to Masters of Clinical Pharmacy or Masters of Pharmacy Practice. Not all PharmD programs are the same either.

Nikhil K. Sachan

I feel the 'Doctor of Pharmacy' is an appropriate professional degree in pharmacy which is started with a long delay in India. It can be bright career option in the field of Hospital Pharmacy, Clinical Research, Pharmaceutical and Drug Administration, Pharma-Academia, Rural Healthcare,and Pharmaceutical Care Research and Consultancy. But This could be possible only if Pharmacy Council of India dare to take some strict steps in active coordination with CDSCO and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Recently MCI announced to introduce B.Sc in Community Health programme which may cause great decline in interest to Pharm.D. programme as the said B.Sc. degree holders are suppose to practice in rural healthcare units, PHCs, and CHCs -- why not our pharmacy council take and active step to demonstrate the suitability of Pharm.D. course which hasalready been started in several Universities, to be a substitute of B.Sc - Community Health Proposed. By doing this lacks of jobs can be created exclusively for Pharm.d. and Pharm.D. (PB).

Thanks for your comment sir... Yes, I also got to hear about the B.Sc in Community Healtcare and M.Sc in Clinical Assistance are two emerging professions introduced by the MCI to decline the Pharm.D in India. But Still PCI is not in a position to quantify the quality of education and Jobs to the PHARMACY students. I will try my best to communicate with the some of the officials of the PCI to comment about it. Thanks for you suggestion and guidance.. Looking forward for your future assistance for this profession too.
