Pharmacy Education –Role of Regulatory Bodies

Pharmacy Education is regulated by THREERegulatory Bodies• Pharmacy Council of India - PCI• All India Council for Technical Education –

AICTE • Universities

LEGISLATIVE CHANGES (Proposed)

PHARMACY COUNCIL OF INDIA

STATUTORY REGULATION OF PHARMACY INSTITUTIONS

Pharmacy Council of India The statutory regulation of pharmacy institutions in the country was established with the enactment of the Pharmacy Act, 1948 on 04.03.1948

The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) was established

on 09.03.1949, under the Pharmacy Act 1948. PCI

frames education regulations under section 10 of the

Act.

Education Regulations E.R-1953, E.R-1973,

E.R-1981, E.R-1991

Pharmacy Education – Role of Regulatory Bodies

• All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) under AICTE Act 1987 regulates D.Pharm, B.Pharm and M.Pharm courses

• Accreditation of facilities by Nation Board of Accreditation ( NBA ) for Quality Assurance of Study programme

Universities

• India has 427 universities, some single campus, most with many affiliated / autonomous colleges.

• The nodal accrediting body is the University Grants Commission(UGC)

• All accredited universities are members of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU)

• Deemed Universities –Institutions of excellence which have been granted degree granting authority eg: IIT, IIM

D.PHARM CURRICULUM

• Topics lost relevance as extemporaneous dispensing is largely replaced by Ready to use dosage forms

• Remained only as a formal qualification for registration

B.PHARM CURRICULUM• Though industry and product orient most institutions are

far removed from Industry and lack interaction• No uniformity in Syllabus and content across the

Universities• Course content is a mix of Basic Sciences-Mathematics,

Physical Chemistry, Inorganic & Organic Chemistry, Physiology and Microbiology

Advanced Topics: Bio-Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry and Basic Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Pharmacology, Pharmacognosy, Pharmacy law, Biotechnology)

CURRICULUM

Syllabus is more Industry oriented and mainly designed to cater the needs of the Pharma Industry and successful

in developing the Indian Pharma industry. Source : PCI

Due to lucrative jobs offered by the industry and growth of the Pharma Industry as innovative

Industry, Pharmacy has become course of choice in recent years

STUDENT PERSPECTIVE

Source : IPA-Ed

Post Graduate specilizations (M.Pharm)

• Pharmaceutics• Pharmaceutical Chemistry• Pharmacology• Pharmaceutical Analysis• Pharmacognosy & Phytochemisty• Pharmaceutical Biotechnology• Pharmacy practices• Hospital Pharmacy• Indusrial Pharmacy• PharmacyRegulatory Affairs• Quality Assurance

Industry Centered Curriculum

• Pharmacy education in India for the past several decades has been industry centered. It does not meet the requirements of patient care & Pharmacy practice

• WHO & the Common Wealth Pharmaceutical Association have highlighted the need for graduate level education followed by one year practical training before one is capable of affectively performing the role of a pharmacist

FAVOURABLE FACTORS

Vast technical pool & skilled man power

Well established state-of-art manufacturing plants

Low cost factor & ability to retain cost age

High-level of competence and expertise

Introduction of advanced technology by MNCs

Assured compliance with global norms

By 2012 nearly US$ 80 billion worth of patent-protected drugs to go off patent (inc 30 of the best selling US patent-protected drugs) :

Indian companies are positioning themselves to tap the generic versions of these drugs with its reverse engineering skills and relatively low cost structure

(Generics - $ 11 bn - expected $ 50 bn by 2012)

Pharma Industry oriented training

• In view of rapid growth of export oriented Pharma Industry, there is a great need for graduates and post graduates in Pharmacy with good professional orientation

• To fill the gap between academic courses and Industries needs, we have started Hitech-Institute to conduct a Bridge Course in association with Natco Pharma involving lectures on various industry oriented topics

Pharma Industry oriented training

• GMP, GLP, Process and Product development, regulatory affairs etc., by Industry and Regulatory experts, followed by visit to various manufacturing units

• So far we have conducted 40 batches with an average 40 students per batch. More than 90% trainees got immediate employment in the Industry

• We wish to extent this facility to overseas students also in the near future

Quality in Pharmacy Education

• Pharmacy Council of India constituted a multisectoral co-ordination mechanism called National Task force for quality assurance in Pharmacy Education, primarily an accreditation body, but advises and guides to facilitate achieving high quality

Community Pharmacy in IndiaBusiness per anum – 36,000 crores

Apollo, Hetero, Med Plus, --- in south
