D-Pharmacy

By
D-Pharma
The professional curriculum leading to the Pharm-D. requires four years of study and admission into this program requires completion of the Pre-Pharmacy Requirements. The entire curriculum is highly structured, allowing time for only a modest amount of elective study. Also, to complete the professional program in four years, students must consistently be successful in their completion of all of the required courses in each year of the program.
The Doctor of Pharmacy is a professional degree, not a graduate degree. Admission into the Pharm-D. program requires some prior college level study, but not a Bachelors degree. However, while completion of other degree programs is not required for admission, it is not excluded. Every year some students join the Pharm-D. program after completing a Bachelors degree and in a few cases, other professional degrees. Individuals who have completed a five-year BS in Pharmacy program may seek a Pharm-D. though the traditional program.
The Purdue Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm-D.) program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education, which is the national agency for the accreditation of professional degree programs in pharmacy and providers of continuing pharmacy education.
The Pharm-D. professional program is only one step, albeit a required one, in the process of becoming a registered pharmacist. The other steps include preparation for college study, admission to college, completion of the Pre-Pharmacy requirements, and after completion of the Pharm-D., sitting for and passing the licensure examination (NAPLEX) and completing the application materials and processes required for licensure. Specifics of the examination and licensure processes vary by state, and such information is best obtained from the State Board of Pharmacy for the state of interest. Some very useful general information about the NAPLEX is available from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP).

RBI Rate Cut: What It Means for the Economy and Stock Market

By
 The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has recently announced a 25 basis points (bps) cut in the repo rate, reducing it to 6.25%. This move comes after nearly five years, signaling a shift in monetary policy to stimulate economic growth. The decision is expected to have a widespread impact on borrowing costs, investment, and market dynamics. But what does this really mean for businesses, investors, and the common man? Let’s break it down. Understanding the Repo Rate The repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. When the central bank reduces this rate, borrowing becomes cheaper for banks, allowing them to offer loans at lower interest rates to businesses and individuals. This, in turn, encourages spending, investment, and overall economic growth. Why Did RBI Cut the Rates?
