B.pharm Pharma

Bachelor of Pharmacy is an undergraduate pharmacy course and Doctor of pharmacy is a professional pharmacy doctoral course. Both the courses have their own significance as B.Pharma is 4 years course where as Pharma. D is a 6 years course. While Pharma. D. focuses on clinical practise and allows the student to get a hands-on experience while working as a pharmacist, B.Pharma. Is more research oriented and as mentioned above it focuses on the manufacture of drugs and what new discoveries can be made in this field. After the completion of B.Pharma. the students can practice as a Pharmacist. Pharmacists will work in industries related to the prescription, manufacture & provision of medicines. And Pharma. D trains students to work in hospital settings, relevant industry environments and to pursue higher degrees or clinical research. After the completion of the B.Pharma course, students can go for higher studies in the Pharmacy like Master of Pharmacy M.Pharma or can work in a Pharmaceutical company or can practice as a Pharmacist in various firms Where as After earning a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and passing licensure examinations, College of Pharmacy graduates can practice pharmacy anywhere the country. If you are a student who wishes to work as a pharmacist in big hospitals and healthcare clinics whether it is in your homeland or in countries abroad, then a Pharma.D. course would be better for you. You can also pursue your Ph.D. after completing Pharma.D. if you are interested in doing further clinical research work.

A career in the pharmaceutical sciences is full of opportunities. Mentioned below are some of the options:
R & D: The pharmacy industry is one such industry that thrives on research and development. For this option, M. Pharms and Ph. This are highly in demand for research of new drugs, process development, formulation, development, clinical trials and Toxicological Studies. Analysis and Testing: Analysis and testing go hand in hand with this industry specially in order to maintain a proper Quality control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA). For the same highly skilled staff is required by companies to handle sensitive analytical dealings and sophisticated equipment. Production and Manufacturing: the options of working in production and manufacturing are huge. One can start his/ her own venture or work for someone. Professionals for production and manufacturing are not only required by biotechnological products, surgical dressings, medical devices, equipment, ayurvedic/ etc. Are also the requirement for the production of cosmetics, soaps, toiletries and dental products. Marketing: The Pharmaceuticals sales and marketing is considered to be a highly technical arena and hence one of the best when it comes to perks. Hospitals: Although it might be a trend of the US or Canada, but it is one that seem to be setting in India as well. The pharmacists in the hospitals are the best informed individuals for prescribing a drug. Mostly in western countries, the diagnosis is made by the Doctors but the pharmacists decide the medicines and their dosage. B.Pharma has diversity in the course work you do as they cover clinical and industrial pharmacy related aspects. But the drawback is that you will have to waste almost 6 months to 1 year between Masters and Bachelors programs while Pharma. D is a continuous 6-year integrated-graduate programme which is equivalent to M.Pharma in India. However, Pharma. D is purely clinicial oriented and once you get into Pharma. D you cannot move in Cognosy, Chemistry, Pharmaceutics or Analysis unless you do another Masters degree. However, I know people who have opted for Ph.D. in completely different areas abroad after completion of Pharma. D from India. Overall, choosing between B.Pharma and Pharma. D depends on how further you want your academics to proceed. Pharma. D can save 1 year in between Bachelors and Masters for a person who is totally inclined towards clinical pharmacology.
