Kar, Mousumi; Pillai, Sujit
- Abstract
To get an insight into the current status and need for the incorporation of information technology in pharmacy education for learning, teaching activities, and suggestions, and ways to incorporate technology beneficially into education. The use of information technology is also wide spread throughout the working of pharmacy as well. Since its origin, pharmacy field has seen significant changes that require deliberate modifications in the teaching methodologies. These changes should include the use of information technology (IT) for a better grasping of the knowledge imparted to students. Computer science/IT may be a part of the curriculum of pharmacy in most of the universities, but its implementation in the corresponding field is still in the beginning stage. The introduction of it in early stages of pharma education will benefit students during their professional career. The inclusion and adaption of IT into the pharmacy education will require inputs and acceptability from educationalists, government, universities, instructors /teachers, and by the students as well. IT will be useful not only during the education but will also prepare a job-ready pharmacist.
