Bachelor of Pharmacy (B. Pharma) is a Four-year undergraduate program designed to introduce
students with the properties and impacts of allopathic and herbal pharmaceutical drugs. The
program helps students in developing the skills essential to manufacture dosage forms, counsel
patients about medication use. In the develop part of the world 97 % pharmacists are working in the
hospital and community setting. But our situation is different. The core pharmacy subjects include
Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy, herbal medicine, herbal medicine
technology, Pharmacology, Pharmacotherapeutics, Hospital Pharmacy and Community Pharmacy.
Practice change of this magnitude requires appropriate changes in education. Over the past few
decades, there have been significant advances in pharmacy education in many countries aimed at
improving the standard of graduates and their ability to provide a wide range of innovative
pharmaceutical dosage form manufacturing, quality control and patient care services. Advances in
pharmacy education have occurred in curriculum design and pedagogy that include student-oriented
teaching methods that impart the skills to students. Now Nepal adopt the federal political
governance system so, it is necessary that local graduates are focused on meeting basic local
requirements for maintaining a quality medicine manufacturing, quality control, supply chain that
addresses patient needs. Providing pharmacists with advanced skills would enable them to fill a
“needs gap” in all sector of pharmacy practice to improve health care standards.
