Pharm D (Doctor of Pharmacy) at MCOPS
ManipalWhere Pharmacy Practice Meets Patient-Centred Care
Pharmacy education in India has traditionally centred on the pharmaceutical industry, driven by the goal of self-sufficiency in medicines at affordable prices. With globalization, the spread of the Internet, growing western influence, and rising patient expectations, the Pharmacy Council of India introduced PharmD in 2008, placing pharmaceutical care at the heart of pharmacy education. As the first professional degree and a prerequisite for pharmacist licensing in many countries, PharmD opens the door to clinical practice worldwide.
Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences is among the pioneers of PharmD, having offered it from the very beginning, supported by a faculty with excellent international exposure at leading universities and health centres across the USA and Canada. Its multi-speciality clinical environment offers an exemplary training ground for practice-based pharmacy education, with a curriculum that builds core pharmacy foundations in the first three years, followed by three years in the clinical setting.
