Just few days back PCI inspection took place in our college ie in NET
Pharmacy College,Raichur. We got the opportunity to have a talk about
PharmD(PB) syllabus problems with the PCI Inspector Dr.Abhay
Dharamsi-Principal Atmiya Sarvoday Kelavani Samaj Sanchalit Institute Of
Pharmacy,Rajkot.We even shown him the letter we wrote to the Registrar,
Dean and Chairman of RGUHS and same we sent to PCI President Dr.
B.Suresh.
When we discussed that how these problems have evolved because of non-uniformity of B.Pharm syllabus among all over the different universities of india.To this , he responded by remarking that PCI is only responsible for D.Pharm, PharmD, and PharmD(PB)courses and not for B.Pharm and M.Pharm courses, whereas B.Pharm and M.Pharm courses are responsibility of AICTE. Further he added that Pharmacy in India have many fathers and thats why all these problems came into existence.
When we asked him what should be our set of line of action, in order to solve our syllabus issues, he replied that our direct approach and all communications about this issue should be with first the owner or management of the respective college and finally with RGUHS university, as University has the power to add the required subjects but not delete the subjects in a course.Also he said that even if this requires the university to add, and the students to study additional 6 months or 1 year, to cover these subjects in their syllabus, Pharm D(PB) students should be mentally prepared and ready for the same as those 6 months or 1 year will make their future years of their long career and life smooth and comfortable. Same was conyeved to us by our Principal Dr H. Doddaya long back ago.They both said these additions must be done so as we students become effective and competitive clinical pharmacists.
My personal take on this issue is that if PCI has started Pharm D(PB) course and consider itself morally responsible for the good future and careers of the students who are pursuing this course than it must see to it that PB syllabus in RGUHS is upto the mark and those who will pass this course will be certified rationally only after they have studied and appeared for exams in all the basic and core subjects like (Pathophysiology,Hospital Pharmacy and community Pharmacy),despite AICTE related hurdles, because a genuine and legal father should always feel concern about his children. It seems as if this syllabus has been structured by some beheaded ghost. And ofcourse we NET Pharm D(PB)students dont mind continuing our study for additional 6 months or 1 year,if the additions are made as soon as possible ,in effect for 2011-2012.I hope and believe other Pharm D(PB) students from other colleges under RGUHS, also dont mind the same.
Also such requests and letters must come from other PharmD(PB)colleges .Another thing is that it would be a lot more easier and convenient for Bangalore PharmD(PB)students to go and communicate directly and frequently with the chairman, dean (faculty of Pharmacy, RGUHS) rather than NET students, Raichur to do the same. So I request Pharm D(PB)students of colleges of bangalore to please do the same.
