PCI to introduce Medical Device Mfg in revised curriculum - News Ref. AIOCD.
Why this stupidity?
Is medical devices any formula product?
It is an Engineering subject with medical application.
Knowledge of metals, Rubbers, plasticizers, plastics , PE, PVC, Acrylics, other synthetic materials, absorbability and non-absorbability, their ductile and malleability properties, thermal and irradiation sustainability, besides other related properties like ease of sterilization and application, disposability, special devices for handling radioactive materials etc are a must.
Why burden the pharmacy students for no extra gain?
I remember my B Pharm year 1965 to 69 where we were struggling to work on drawing board to draw basic machine drawings, studying Chemical engineering calculations and formula, orifice meters, Venturi meters, BSc level Arithmetics, Calculus Trigonometry , Algebra etc for no extra gain.
Now, with an eye on to capture control on Mfg and Trading in Medical devices PCI should not run after the mad race in others domain.
