Best Fellowships after Pharm D (Doctor of Pharmacy) and MBBS


             Most of us are aware that we can do for MD which is in abroad and some may be thinking of doing PhD but other than this there is no idea on what to do after Pharm D so in this blog we will say you something about fellowships or residency programs that are in India

             yes you heard it right,  fellowships or Residency programs are one of the  golden opportunity for the Indian PharmD graduates to specialize themselves and  gain a thorough knowledge on specialized departments like  Oncotherapeutics or Nephrology.

          Residency Program is a structured ,directed, salaried postgraduate training program in pharmacy practice that typically last one or two year. This program focuses mainly on development of competency skills and application of drug therapy knowledge in providing a broad scope of Pharmaceutical services to the patients as simple it is the program which expertise the pharm D graduates on specialised areas like Oncology, Nephrology etc...

These fellowships are generally divided into two parts postgraduate year one and postgraduate year 2

          so in the first year of the program the PharmD graduates will be doing their normal internships from 2nd year students will be trained under any specialized clinical area by the dedicated clinical practitioners or Doctors.

         During these Residency Program students will be paid for their service and only if minimum number of students will be taken for Residency Program may be one or two per year so there is a high competition for this type of Fellowship programs.
