The study helps to highlight the pharmacists’ roles and responsibilities along with basic pharmacy education, with the most recent information obtained from publications in several journals, books, bulletins, newsletters, magazines. Also, many of the prospective viva and interview questions are solved along with a few chapter outlines, covering many of the pharmacy courses. However, it is very important to remember that no study aid can help do well in a viva session or job interview unless a knowledge base is kept sharpen.
This study aims to support a pharmacy student or professional to give an accelerated mental support when books are not feasible to carry before an interview and viva session.
The expanded role of pharmacists uplifts them to patient care, industrial marketing, regulatory affairs from dispensing and manufacturing of drugs. The sector is emerging in both developed and under-developed countries. Furthermore, pharmacy teaching institutions need to revise and update their curricula to accommodate the progressively increasing development in the pharmaceutical education and the evolving new roles of practicing pharmacists in healthcare arena.
