Hi aspirant ,

One of the promising career options is pharmacovigilance, the science related to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring and prevention of adverse effects associated with drugs. Most of the drug companies based in developing countries outsource their pharmacovigilance activities to corporate giants such as Wipro, Accenture, Cognizant, Quintiles, TCS etc in India and offer an average salary of about Rs. 15 to 28k /month. National Pharmacovigilance Program of India (PvPI) launched by Government of India and Indian pharmacopoeia commission both facilitate time to time reporting of pharmacovigilance program from various healthcare organizations. Another important source of employment for Pharm.D graduates is academia. The PCI has approved PharmD degree holders eligible for working as lecturers. The salary in academia for PharmD graduates is about 14-32k /month. Pharm.D graduates are eligible to be medical writers or medical advisors in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical device and managed care companies. Medical writers work with physicians, medical scientists and subject matter experts (SMEs) and prepare regulatory documents, journals, and, other scientific documents. Medical advisors facilitate knowledge transfer between the medical community and the companies. The starting salary for medical writers ranges from Rs. 14 to 20k /month. Contract Research Organizations (CRO) hire fresh Pharm.D graduates as Clinical Research Coordinators (CRC) who will be promoted to Clinical Research Associates (CRA) with 1-2 years of experience. Corporate hospitals such as Apollo Hospitals wockhardt and Asia Columbia hire Pharm.D graduates as clinical pharmacists and prescription analysts.
