Why Employers are finding alternate professionals Or prepare their own skilled work force?
From general store Chemist to hospital and industry and now skill development program by GOI - all are opting alternate workforce.
Why?
Indian pharma academe has failed to produce even one single Pharmacist in the past 60+ years worth the name who is fit enough to serve professionally in the Govt or Pvt pharmacy.
The curriculum and teaching technique and environment and teaching materials used are so irrelevant and irrational and equally confusing to teachers, students and the people at large. Students don't know where they are heading, Teachers do not know what professional they are preparing, Parents do not know what their ward is going to become?
Result is focus only on exam and pass adopting cut n paste TECHNOLOGY☺
A lengthy list of jobs are shown as prospects to convince on scope.
But everywhere these pharmacists are novice!
How can the employer and the system depend on such persons ?
It becomes natural to find altrnate skilled persons?
If this is to be stopped, the academe should change their work and thought style.
👉Stop class room cut n paste teaching and answering.
👉Let the students learn from live environment .
👉Teach pharmacy in hospital and Community ambience.
👉Teacher should discuss live prescriptions with lab reports and teach logistics and dispensing live in hospitals
Please pardon me if you feel I am rude.
Good wishes
