Scope of Pharmacy
Pharmacy, as a lifesaving profession, is an important pillar of the health care system which has a vital role in the well-being of the community. With the increasing needs of population for medicines worldwide, the role of pharmacist was realized to be of high importance, since the conventional health care system lacked the capability to deliver the appropriate services regarding medicines due to lesser or no involvement of pharmacists. This lack in delivering the services demands more and more input from pharmacist in order to provide better and quality services regarding medicines to the patients. In technologically developed countries, the clinical direction of Pharmacy has put stress on the manipulative product-oriented and distributive skills and concentrates more on the public health awareness.
Today, being more patient oriented, the Pharmacy profession offers more opportunities to its graduates than does any other field. Pharmacist, after a 5 years’ degree (Pharm-D) has a number of carrier opportunities in diverse fields like hospitals, community, clinics, regulatory bodies, marketing, pharmaceutical industries, academia, research, abroad jobs, and most important of all, the entrepreneurship.
