Can I study pharm. D at distance learning and come and give exams for each semester?
Hi sir
No, D. Pharma (Diploma in Pharmacy) is not typically offered through distance learning or online modes. The course requires hands-on practical training and cannot be effectively conducted remotely, even if theory classes were online. All pharmacy courses are prohibited from being offered in distance or online mode according to regulations.
Thanks.
Hello there,
Pharm.D (Doctor of Pharmacy) is a professional course that typically requires a full-time commitment due to its practical training, internships, and clinical experience components. As of now, Pharm.D cannot be pursued through distance learning in most institutions in India.
Here are the key reasons:
-
Practical Training : Pharm.D involves practical training, clinical postings, and internships in hospitals, which are difficult to complete in a distance learning format.
-
Regulatory Requirements : The Pharmacy Council of India (PCI) and university guidelines mandate that Pharm.D students complete specific practical sessions and training in physical institutions.
-
Exams and Attendance : While you may be able to give exams as a private candidate in some cases, the regular practical sessions and clinical training cannot be replaced by distance learning.
Conclusion:
If you're interested in pursuing Pharm.D, you will need to attend a
full-time course
that includes practical and clinical training. If you are looking for a
distance learning option
, you may need to consider alternative pharmacy-related courses that can be pursued in this format, such as B.Pharm (Bachelor of Pharmacy).
