Preamble

Pimpri Chinchwad University offers Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharm) course. This course is an undergraduate program that aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding diverse world of Pharmacy as an integral part of healthcare system. The syllabus for Bachelor of Pharmacy at undergraduate level is regulated by Pharmacy Council of India (PCI). Along with this curriculum the students of Pharmacy are offered with audit courses and ability enhancement courses for inculcating the additional abilities and improve proficiency as a pharmacist to serve the society.

The profession of pharmacy is noble in its ideals and pious in its character. Apart from being a career for earning livelihood it has inherent in it the attitude of service and sacrifice in the interests of the suffering humanity. In handling, selling, distributing, compounding and dispensing medical substances including poisons and potent drugs a pharmacist is, in collaboration with medical men and others, charged with the onerous responsibility of safeguarding the health of people. As such he must uphold the interests of his patrons above all things. The lofty ideals set up by Charaka, the ancient Philosopher Physician and Pharmacist in his enunciation: “Even if your own life be in danger, you should not betray or neglect the interests of your patients” should be fondly cherished by all Pharmacist. Government restricts the practice of Pharmacy to those who qualify under regulatory requirements and grant them privileges necessarily denied to others. In return Government expects the Pharmacist to recognize his responsibilities and to fulfill his professional obligations honorably and with due regard for the wellbeing of Society. Standards of professional conduct for pharmacy are necessary in the public interest to ensure an efficient pharmaceutical service. Every pharmacist should not only be willing to play his part in giving such a service but should also avoid any act or omission which would prejudice the giving of the services or impair confidence in any respect for pharmacists as a body. The nature of pharmaceutical practice is such that its demands may be beyond the capacity of the individual to carry out as quickly or as efficiently as the needs of the public require. There should, therefore always, be a readiness to assist colleagues with information or advice. A Pharmacist must, above all be a good citizen and must uphold and defend the laws of the state and the Nation.

The goal of the syllabus is that the students at the end can secure a high ending job. Keeping in mind with the changing nature of the course, passable emphasis has been given on new practices of mapping and understanding of the subject. The syllabus has also been outlined in such a way that the basic skills of course are taught to the students, increasing chances of securing most job opportunities in pharmaceutical industry.

Also, it is recommended that the Project Work and Industrial training is compulsory for all the students as per their respective semester curriculum.
