Think for the Next to come as the best !

Dear All, I was in a mood to post a comment on the Topic: “Pharmacy Graduate – Jack of all trades, Master of none” submitted by my fellow Pharmacist, which I think was not wrong but while creating, my thoughts framed into something for which I was thinking to post from the beginning of this competition started to flow of automatically and shaped into a small blog entry.
Well the reference blog is right in judging the actual state of the Pharma - graduates but I think specialization at the graduation level is not the only solution for this. We have to look forward in some other way. It needs some reformation in the hierarchy of the subjects we study in 4 years.
One more think I would like to say, that Pharmacy is a professional degree course and it is difficult to get a firm grip on all subjects those demand skills. As was suggested about the specialization at graduation level, I think is not feasible if we consider the other aspects of B.Pharma degree, also the facility for doing specialization is already provided in Post graduation level i.e. M.Pharma degree.
The reason why I am not going with that point is that, it will degrade the importance of the M.Pharma degree and will not provide the basic knowledge of other important subjects which we study in B.Pharma as well.
For shaping Pharma – Graduates as the “Jack of all Trades, Master of All”, the system needs change drastically right from the beginning. Let’s have a look on some points which I think could make some difference at this level.
1. Synchronization is required among all the degree courses D.Pharma, B.Pharma and M.Pharma. Right now these courses don’t have any link between them like for an example if a student comes into B.Pharma after pursuing D.Pharma has to study again the same things which he had studied earlier in a very short duration of two years. Also on exploring his knowledge there hardly seems any difference.
2. Semester system exploiting the quality of studies. Today’s educations system is getting professional on the cost of the quality. Semesters are one of them in my view. Studies in sem. are not only puts pressure on the students but also eating the basics of knowledge. Students throughout the year study only for the terms and sem. exams but not to gain knowledge because each subject needs time which got fragmented in sems. Subjects which should go in continuation are divided into parts that lead to miss the links between the same subject results into No fruitful result. This is a very serious problem in my views which is away from the eyes of everyone.
3. P.C.I. had to give an eye on all the mushrooming institutes those assures to give B.Pharma without any infrastructure, any laboratories. While creating my last blog entry about “High Throughput Screening” I came to know that some education institutes of U.S.A. are planning to put screening instruments in their institute for students to give knowledge about it before they go out into the industry. I think it’s like a dream to have such think in our country’s institutes (excepting few, even not sure about them!) to have it for students at graduation level. That is the difference we face in the education system of all the disciplines, excluding the few big institutions which are countable even on a child’s finger.
4. We all are good thinkers but not the excellent executers: This is the biggest problem and we all are its sufferers. We all know the changes we must have for the development of something but the person to initiate it is an “Alien” for all and if some how he landed on earth everyone get scared from him and try to kill him by killing his revolutionary thoughts……! This is the fact and we all are aware of it but what next….. This next could turn up by us because we only tagged as Generation Next…!
5. Hoping for the Next to come……
