Pharma

Pharma. D is a degree made specially to work as a pharmacist and was made keeping patients in mind. Very few Indian students pursue Pharmacy to become a pharmacist and tend to go to industry/academia instead. After a Pharma. D you can work as a clinical pharmacist, preferably at a hospital. Or, you can go into clinical research, pharmacovigilance, hosptial administration, regulatory affairs, etc. But, that's it. If you wish to go into the industry in preclinical R&D or work in the management, then you don't need a Pharma. D degree and should go for a B.Pharma M.Pharma/MBA. If you think that being a 'Doctor in Pharmacy' would make you more eligible for jobs in the synthesis of drugs, formulation of medications, or PK/PD testing than a 'Master in Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics/ Pharmacology/ Pharmaceutical Chemistry)', then I am sorry, you are mistaken.

As a pharmaceutical management aspirant, you will study a blend of course curriculum of business management topics and pharmaceutical technology issues specific to the pharmaceutical industry. The learning pedagogy is designed to stimulate the young brain through advanced classroom lectures, group work, management games, extensive field visits and case studies which prepare students to become competent pharmaceutical managers.

You will learn about these topics in general as well as how they can be applied to the pharmaceutical industry. You will also study pharmaceutical regulatory affairs and supply chain management within the industry. Additional courses like IPR Management and Capstone project will cover the current trends and opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry.
