Introduction to the Course
Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D) started in 2008 in India with an objective to improve clinical pharmacy education nationwide. Sri Aurobindo Institute of Pharmacy (SAIP) with the proclaimed objective of becoming a center for excellence for advanced studies in pharmaceutical sciences launched Pharm D program in 2018 and became one of its kind institutes to start the course in central India.
In addition to subjects of B. Pharm, the Pharm D course inculcates pharmacy practice components mainly focusing on community pharmacy, pharmacotherapeutics, clinical pharmacy, biostatistics and research methodology along with pharmacotherapeutic drug monitoring. Pharm D students during the academic schedule of the program have to undergo six months project work that provides them with better overall skills and in-depth knowledge of clinical aspects of drugs.
The department is well-equipped with chemicals, equipment, and instruments. After B.Pharm, the students would get an opportunity to work as a community pharmacist, hospital pharmacist, drug inspector, quality control associate, clinical research associate, research and development scientist, medical representative, formulation development associate, science writer, sales and marketing representative.
The proximity of the Medical College Hospital campus allows SAIP to facilitate collaborative research to students. SAIP focuses on all the year-round development of students and for this institute has established sophisticated analytical instruments lab (SAIL) and Innovation center for drug design and development (IC3D) to strengthen the academic and research capability of students and faculties.
For a Doctor of Pharmacy course, all applicants must have completed 10+2 with physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology, (PCMB) or physics, chemistry, and biology, (PCB) conducted by the respective State/Central Government authorities.
