What is “Pharmacy” ?
Pharmacy is an Applied Health Science with Clinical Practice.
Pharmacy students must have houseman ship or training at hospital pharmacies and community pharmacies before working at these pharmacies as a pharmacist.
These trainings are especially for the Clinical Practice.
Where is the Applied Health Science ?
Four Roles of Pharmacists
1. Patient care
Dispensing
Indication of drug therapy
Clinical services 2. Chemists at cities
Drug supply
Health keeping for ordinary citizens as well as patients
Adequate information on nutraceuticals and cosmetics as well as pharmaceuticals
3. Hygiene maintaining at health center at city 4. New drug discovery
R&D in industries
Regulatory sciences at governmental research centers

To Err Is Human, To Forgive Divine
( when people do things wrong we should try hard to forgive them because all people make
mistakes ... )
Pharmacists are Chemists
Health Pre- Disease
Disease
Hospital pharmacist Community

11.Internship
12.Joint Researches
Curriculum #3 for Hygiene Chemistry
Chemists have to take care of
general citizens from in-house
chemicals.
Maintenance of the safety life of general citizens
Pharmacists have to pay attention all chemicals containing therapeutic drugs and poisons.
Pharmacists also have to take care of
microorganisms, insects and other living matters.
Internship or joint research at and with city health centers
Internships and joint researches are useful for the education
of hygiene chemistry for pharmacy students.
Drug Discovery
From Low molecular organic drugs to high molecular biopharmaceuticals
Paradigm shit for drug discovery
Sustainable research to discover new therapeutic drugs
Do we have the same therapeutic drugs we are using even after 30 years later?
No, we don’t, because drugs must be
changed with a passage of time.
Curriculum #4 for New Drug Discovery
1. Medicinal Chemistry 2. Analytical Chemistry
3. Anatomy and Physiology 4. Human Diseases
5. Pharmacology
6. Drug Therapeutics 7. Pharmaceutics
8. Drug Delivery Systems 9. Regulatory Sciences 10. Biostatistics
11. Bioinformatics
12.Internship
13.Joint Researches
Internship or joint research at and with
Industries
Production of new therapeutic drugs
(together of nutraceuticals and functional cosmetics)
Development of new dosage forms like DDS
Development of medical equipments and devices
Internships and joint researches are useful for the education
to have research mind to produce pharmaceuticals.
Internship at Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical and
Cosmeceutical Industries
Cultivation of research mind to produce a new era of therapeutic drugs
Cultivation of research mind to produce nutraceuticals
Cultivation of research mind to produce cosmeceuticals and cosmetics
Cultivation of research mind to produce house chemicals with high safety
Knowledge for production of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics
Cultivation of marketing mind to sell therapeutic drugs with enough medicinal
information
Examples for internship at industries
Industries Section
Pharmaceutical Industries R&D
Clinical Research Manufacturing Quality control Cosmetic Industries R&D
Manufacturing Safety evaluation Nutraceutical Industries R&D

others
Internship at Government Institutes
Cultivation of research mind for regulatory sciences
for high effectiveness for enough safety
for GMP, GLP, GCP etc.
