Profession of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences has been one of the most dynamic fields in the healthcare system that has undergone several paradigm shifts in last century. In the ancient times when traditional and herbal medicines were practiced, the role of pharmacist was restricted to preparation and dispensing of drugs. With acceptance of more chemistry based modern medicines by physicians, there was a shift of the profession to ‘product oriented pharmaceutical sciences’. This resulted into increased drug dependence and drug information leading to a need of re-orientation of pharmacy from a product orientation to a patient-centred system by which pharmacists started to assume new responsibility as clinical pharmacist. The traditional pharmacy education changed from production oriented knowledge development to clinical and hospital based training institutions or colleges of pharmacy.
