Hi My daughter NEET marks is 380 Can we try pharma D ,can you please explaine
Ans: Hi Chandra,

Which state do you belong to?

Actually, a NEET score is not required for Pharm D admissions in Tamil Nadu. In some states, it falls under state counseling. Instead of opting for direct Pharm D, you could consider joining as a lateral entry after completing your B.Pharm. The main advantages include:

As a Pharm D graduate, you will have clinical knowledge ALONE but not as much expertise. By entering through lateral entry, you will gain industrial knowledge, which includes manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, and clinical experience. This can provide additional benefits during placements for B.Pharm and Pharm D graduates.

In a B.Pharm program, she will study basic pharmaceutical science subjects for a full four years, while in Pharm D, the maximum study period is three years and may not cover the material in as much depth. Therefore, it's better for her to start with B.Pharm and then pursue Pharm D later.

While studying, it’s crucial that she interacts with physicians. She should also learn how to prepare clinical protocols, as this is often lacking in current graduates. When considering admissions, it’s advisable to interact with the teachers to understand how faculty engage with physicians. Find out how many hours students participate in hospitals, specifically ward rounds, and discuss clinical cases. Additionally, inquire about the clinical and academic PERCEPTORS (SPECIALLY CLINICAL), and how students can gain expertise to be employable in hospitals.
If you have any further query. kindly post
