Pharmacy Practice High Impact Factor Journals

The health care system in India is going through dramatic changes due to growth in the demand for health care and patient needs. The educational and professional responsibilities of pharmacists are being constantly redefined. The neglected role of clinical pharmacy in India has started to undergo promising changes, enhancing the profile of pharmacists and enabling them to be an integral part of the health care system. Candidates with a Bachelor's of Pharmacy or Masters of Pharmacy are considered to be industry-oriented professionals who prefer to join various departments in the pharmaceutical industries, such as production, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, and marketing. The Pharmacy Council of India introduced a PharmD program in 2008 that emphasizes the clinical and patient-oriented aspects of the pharmacy profession. India still requires sweeping changes in the healthcare and education systems to meet international standards for pharmacy practice.
