The Kulliyah of Pharmacy, Islamic International University of Malaysia (IIUM), plans to provide a master program in Industrial Pharmacy by year 2010. This will be a 15 months course work to equip students with the basic needs for practising in the pharmaceutical industry.
I find this program suitable for those who wish to venture into industrial pharmacy and those already in the industry but wish to equip themselves with the relevant knowledge as a career advancement. To be eligible, you must have at least first degree in science related field.
The program is meticulously designed for the pharma industry. Interestingly, IIUM even adds in one module on Management, which will expose students to the various stuff in management, finance, costing, conflict management, project management etc… You will also be able to take the elective courses on specific subject matters such as Logistics, Natural Medicinal Products, Vaccines, Biomaterial development & medical devices.
For manufacturers, it is good if you can sponsor your competent (and loyal) staff for this program. You will just have to spare him/her for 10-11 months with the balance practical training conducted in your own facility. Good eh?
My only wish is for this program to be industry-friendly, ie. Lectures should be scheduled on weekends to enable working students to participate. There should be assignments and self-studies in addition to attending lectures and practicals.
If you wish to know more, just call Dr Kausar at 09-5716681 (email: kausar.ahmad@gmail.com), or Mdm Juliana at 09-5716400 ext 268 (email: juliekz@msn.com). You can also contact me....!
There's only 10 places for the first year. I guess it will be first come first serve basis.
