Dear Healthcare Professionals!
It has been an eventful quarter for the
Department of Pharmacy Practice, Al Shifa College of Pharmacy. An entire area
in KIMS Al Shifa Hospital has been earmarked for the department and new
classrooms have been constructed so that all the batches of Pharm.D, Pharm.D
(Post Baccalaureate) and M.Pharm (Pharmacy Practice) can be accommodated at any
given time. A new HoD room that gives view of all proceedings has also been
constructed.
On March 17th and 18th
2015, along with Dr. Dilip, HOD and Mr. Linu Mohan, Assistant Professor, I
attended a ‘WORKSHOP AND ‘ONE ON ONE’ MEETING’ On ACPE INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION
PROGRAM’ at Banagalore. It was organized by Dr. B. Suresh, President, Pharmacy
Council of India under the aegis of IACP, Chennai. I have given my impression
on this workshop and its outcome separately as an article.
Dr. Mohanta has written an article titled ‘Calcium Channel Blockers Make Dangerous Combination
with Most Macrolide Antibiotics’
and which is truly an eye opener to all pharma professionals. It is common to
see hypertension patients who take amlodipine regularly also prescribed and
take macrolides during monsoon. We bestow our thanks to Dr. Mohanta for this
article.
Department
of Pharmaceutics is organizing a seminar on 28th April in our
college campus. The brochure will be sent to all colleges and published in the
college website in the first week of April. Dr. KLK Paranjothi, Industrial
Consultant and Expert faculty, Al Shifa College of Pharmacy, Dr. A.B.
Remashree, Project Director, Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala and Dr. Kaladhar
Kamalasanan, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science and Technology,
Thiruvananthapuram are the resource persons for the seminar. After the lecture
sessions there will be poster presentation as well.
All these activities are possible because of support
and encouragement from our most respected, Mr. P. Unneen, Managing Trustee, Al
Shifa College of Pharmacy and all the directors of Shifa Medicare Trust!
