Career Vistas for Indian Medical Pharmacologists: A Comprehensive Review

Medical postgraduation in India is available across various disciplines, one among them being pharmacology. As with the other MD courses, MD Pharmacology is a 3-year-long course that involves strenuous theoretical, practical, and clinical training. However, the curriculum does not clearly enlighten MD residents on the career vistas available for them once they pass out. The awareness level of majority of MD pharmacology postgraduates or freshers on these career options is meagre due to lack of professional guidance or literature, and hence, majority of them tend to travel along the path that is most commonly traversed by their seniors and peers. This comprehensive review details a few of the different vistas that an MD pharmacologist can pursue, highlighting the scope, roles, responsibilities, and monetary compensation of each, in an honest attempt to educate and enlighten the MD pharmacology fraternity.

Viewpoint: Physician as a Clinician, Researcher, and Academician

@#The daily work life of physicians who function as clinicians, researchers, and academicians is focused on improving public health and patient outcomes in three usually compartmentalized settings: clinics, classrooms, and centers for research. In these settings, physicians are addressing patients’ medical concerns based on evidence, and at the same time, considering if new information could lead to research and discovery for better patient outcomes. The physician then proceeds to mentor, teach, and train medical students in quality evidence-based clinical practice and the conduct of scientific research. The importance of operationally blending these three disciplines with research as a common thread is not only a big challenge for these physicians but also an opportunity to innovate for better public health.

Accelerating research evidence translation through dyadic engagement: A developing model for evidence-based practice implementation

@#Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been regarded as the gold standard of clinical practice in the health profession. However, even though the importance of EBP is well documented in the nursing literature, in developing countries, its implementation remains a challenge. In addition to individual and organizational barriers to EBP implementation, the existence of the academician-clinician divide is a critical concern. This seeming disconnect has significantly hampered the translation of knowledge into practice. Hence, collaborative dyadic engagements between the academician and clinicians have to be nurtured. The Accelerating Research evidence translation through Dyadic Engagement (ARDE) Model, a pragmatic way of facilitating the enculturation of EBP, is proposed and collaborative efforts in solving clinically relevant nursing issues will pave the way for EBP to become an integral part of clinical practice.
