E-DRUG: The role of pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry (2)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With reference to the subject posting, definitely it adds a lot of value to
include a Pharmacist in the industry. I am surprised why Pharmacists are
not included in the Pharmaceutical Production/Management, in a country like
USA.
In India, its mandated by law, to hire a pharmacist in the production line,
to get the manufacturing license.
i myself handled many portfolios as production Pharmacist taking active
part in PPC; Production, Planning and Control, which helped me a lot, when
I took up position in the UN system as Procurement officer.
Many scholarly articles are available in Journals about the role of pharmacists in Pharmaceutical Industry.
One such article that i found is :
