Are “Requirements of Indian Pharmaceutical Companies from Pharmacy Graduates & Postgraduates”



Are “Requirements of Indian Pharmaceutical Companies from Pharmacy Graduates & Postgraduates”


There is a need of perfect platform for Pharma professionals from the academia and industry to interact and discuss the requirements of Indian Pharmaceutical Industries from pharmacy students. Is there any urgent need for an upgrade in the curriculum so as to produce students of the trade who are competent and capable of meeting the rigorous needs of the pharma industry and pharmacy practice? As we all know that pharmacy students are the pharmacists of tomorrow and key players within the healthcare system. They will be leading the profession in the near future and can play a major role in not only increasing awareness, but also changing attitudes towards the pharmacy profession. In order to cater to both industrial and healthcare aspects of pharmacy, graduate level courses should be separated as B Pharm-Industrial and B Pharm-Healthcare. The curriculum should be re-oriented to fulfill practice requirements in both industrial, as well as healthcare settings. The orientation of pharmacy courses based on feedback from the industry and health sector professionals should be undertaken on a continuous basis. We look forward to your wholehearted participation at this topic and hope you contribute your experience to the thought-provoking discussion.
