what is pharm D? what is its scope in India ? is it better than B pharm?

Hi student,

Pharm.D or Doctor of Pharmacy is a professional pre-Ph.D. postgraduate doctorate course with an aim to improve clinical pharmacy services in India. This is a course that prepares students to be practice-ready in areas related to direct patient care and research. After this course you can use the prefix “Dr.” in your name.

Scope is very enormous in this pharmacy field and specifically in this course as you can directly go for a P.hD programme. The Pham.D doctors work closely with doctors, and pharmacists which bring them a sense of responsibility for the medication therapy management. You can get these roles after competing this course:-

• Clinical Pharmacist
• Hospital Pharmacy Director
• Hospital Staff Pharmacist
• Pharmacist
• Pharmacist in Charge
• Retail Pharmacist
• Retail Staff Pharmacist
• Drug Experts
• Drug Interaction Specialists
• Nutritionists
• Medical Writer
• Drug Writer
• Lecturer

• Pharmaceutical Advisor

It is better than B.Pharm if you have patience and have a vision to work as a doctor in the pharmacy field.
