Is D.Pharma Equivalent to Doctorate of Pharmacy?

Ans: Hi Faiz,
Greetings.
There is no direct connection between NEET and Pharm D. NEET exams are not mandatory for Pharmacy programs. If your son wants to pursue Pharm D, you should contact the institutions offering the Pharm D course.

My suggestion is that he should complete his B.Pharm first, and then he can pursue Pharm D (PB). This will give him better opportunities compared to pursuing Pharm D alone.

Career opportunities:
a) Clinical Pharmacist
b) Medical Affairs
c) PMT
d) Medical writing
e) Clinical research
f) Medical Scribe.

I hope this helps!

All the best.

Ans: Hi Pappa,
Following are the opportunities after completion of D.PHARM
1. Community pharmacist
2. Pharmacist in the govt and private hospitals.
3. Few pharma industries offers job in the production and Marketing area.
4. Entrepreneur (Jan Aushadi or Own medical shop)
5. Can pursue Higher education (B.Pharm)

Bye for now....

Ans: Hi Biju,

It's good to hear from you. When comparing B.Pharm to Pharm D, it's important to note that Pharm D requires a focus on the clinical side. You need to be strong in bedside teaching, which is an area where many candidates struggle. If you have a strong clinical competency, you will shine after completing Pharm D. I recommend spending time with physicians during ward rounds to gain valuable experience.

Here are some career opportunities associated with Pharm D:
a) Clinical Pharmacist
b) Medical Affairs
c) PMT
d) Medical writing
e) Clinical research
f) Medical Scribe.

Ans: Thanks for contacting me again.
