AN OVERVIEW ABOUT PHARMACY EDUCATION IN INDIA
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
If the current trend toward automation continues, there will be severe cuts in the employment of pharmacists in pharmaceutical industries in India. To survive in society as a professional, the pharmacist will have to find suitable alternative avenues. The World Health Organization (WHO) has organized three meetings on the potential role of pharmacists in the health care system: in New Delhi in 1988, in Tokyo in 1993, and in Vancouver in 1997. The first meeting outlined the various activities of pharmacists, namely regulatory control and drug management, legislation, procurement, storage and distribution of drugs, drug information, quality control, community and hospital pharmacy, industrial pharmacy, and academic activities, the second meeting introduced the concept of ph armaceutical care, and the third meeting was on developing curriculums for the education of future pharmacists. The International Pharmaceutical Federation has developed good pharmacy practice standards for the community and hospital settings many pharmacy institutions in India have started offering programs in pharmacy practice and clinical pharmacy. The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) has initiated steps to raise the minimum qualification of registered pharmacists. This ambitions plan materializes there will be ample opportunity for pharmacists to serve society.
