Commenting on the merits of the programs, Dr. R. S. Gaud, Director-Pharma Institutions said, “The Indian pharmaceutical landscape continues to undergo a massive transformation due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The industry is evolving rapidly and there is an increasing demand for professionals who are equipped to combat future epidemics and pandemics on a global scale. For those who possess industry-level knowledge, combined with a solid grounding in medicine, epidemiology and other relevant fields, the opportunities for a successful career in the pharma industry are limitless.”
Dr. Bala Prabhakar, Dean, Shobhaben Pratapbhai Patel School of Pharmacy & Technology Management, further added, “SPPSPTM was established with the aim of developing a centre of excellence in pharmacy and technology management education. Our research-based curriculum is supported by highly-qualified and motivated faculty, world-class infrastructure, and an advanced virtual learning system. While the M.Pharm. program focuses on developing highly specialised and industry-oriented education in pharmacy, the integrated M. Pharm. + MBA (Pharma.
