'Profession Vs Job'
Professional standards do not compromise whereas Job standards can be compromised.!
Making M Pharm equally eligible as Pharm D for Clinical Pharmacist post has Compromised the Profession.
Hence #NotAWiseMove.
A post in a Wtsp group:
"Dear Sir/Madam, In a major relief to MPharm degree holders, the Union government has decided to include MPharm (pharmacy practice) as a sufficient qualification for appointing clinical pharmacists to hospitals. The government clarified its stance in the High Court in response to a batch of writ petitions filed by various MPharm degree holders.
Justice Viju Abraham, who considered the petitions, directed the government to implement the decision within three months. Earlier, the government had excluded MPharm as the eligible qualification for serving as clinical pharmacists in hospitals through an amendment brought to the Pharmacy Practice Regulations Act in 2019. Through this amendment, the government made doctor of pharmacy (Pharm D) the qualification for the post."
PCI committed the same blunder while starting B Pharm keeping D Pharm alive.
Had the D Pharm been closed the Hospital Pharmacy would have been in a strong position by now in health
sector.
This is result of having professionally unqualified people in authority.
