Subject: Request for additions in Pharm. D(Post Baccalaureate) syllabus.
Through: The Principal, N.E.T Pharmacy College Raichur.
Respected Sir,
We are the Pharm D(PB) students pursuing the course from NET Pharmacy College Raichur under RGUHS. We did our B.Pharm course from various universities (including RGUHS).
This is to inform you that in our B.Pharm syllabus under various Universities we didn’t had subjects of Pathophysiology, Hospital Pharmacy & Community Pharmacy. These subjects are the basic and fundamental subjects for a Pharm D course, upon which other subjects are based e.g.: Pharmacotherapeutics I,II,and III are related with Pathophysiology. Though these subjects are included in the Pharm D(6yr) university syllabus in 2nd year, where as these are not included in Pharm D(PB) RGUHS syllabus. Sir, this is to bring to your notice that these subjects are very important for an aspirant clinical pharmacist to understand the basics and are the essence of the Pharm D and Pharm D(PB) course.
Moreover, considering the above facts, few deemed universities have placed these subjects in their current syllabus of Pharm D (PB) with Hospital and Community Pharmacy clubbed as a single subject. So that students who take admission in these universities for pursuing Pharm D(PB) after completion of their B.Pharm course from other universities, get a chance to study these subjects, give exams and hence get certified by them.See More
All of us students of Pharm D(PB) also had not studied either of these three subjects or two or none in our B.Pharm syllabus under our respective universities.
Even B.Pharm syllabus of RGUHS has kept these subjects optional (Hospital Pharmacy, Community Pharmacy). So those B.Pharm students of RGUHS who opted oth...er subjects rather than above two mentioned subjects in their course , won’t get an opportunity to study these subjects if they choose to pursue Pharm D (PB) course after the completion of their B.Pharm from our University .Sir, we request you to please add these three subjects atleast in Pharm D(PB)2nd yr syllabus before we PASS OUT by 2013.
Also FPGEC Application bulletin 2011 made it clear that they will certify Pharm D(PB) students only under limited circumstances where the degree obtained and coursework completed to obtain the degree satisfactorily show that the candidate obtained experience in patient care in a clinical pharmacy practice setting, on a case by case basis, after they are assured that the student has got good exposure in a good clinical set up, by looking into the transcripts. Consideration of post baccalaureate degrees and whether they may be applicable to determine the minimum required curriculum length will be made on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of the FPGEC(copy enclosed).
Sir, without having these 3 basic clinically oriented subjects (1. Pathophysiology and 2. Hospital & Community Pharmacy clubbed as single subject) and the respective practicals in hospital and community pharmacy, in the RGUHS syllabus of Pharm D (PB), there are rare chances for Pharm D(PB) students of RGUHS being certified by FPGEC. T...herefore we may not be approved to appear for competitive exams like FPGEE, Naplex etc.
We request you to kindly consider our appeal and make suitable amendments in the existing Pharm.D(PB) Syllabus by adding these 3 basic subjects, effective from the academic year 2011 – 12, so that we all Pharm D(PB) students may cover all the required core subjects under our syllabus which will enable us to be at par with Pharm D(6yr) students who already have these subjects in their syllabus. This may also enable us to be eligible for appearing in competitive exams at international level. Hence we shall get better jobs and opportunities globally.
We hope our request will be considered favorably and implemented at the earliest.
Thanking You,
Yours Sincerely,
Pharm D(PB) students,
2010-11 batch
