As the Director of St. Joseph's College of Pharmacy, Cherthala, I am honored to lead an institution that has been a cornerstone of pharmaceutical education in Kerala since its inception in 2004. Our college has grown over the years to offer a wide range of programs, including B. Pharm, M. Pharm with three specializations, and Pharm.D, demonstrating our commitment to providing students with diverse academic and professional development opportunities. Furthermore, the Kerala University of Health Sciences has approved our institute for Ph. D programs, demonstrating our commitment to advancing Pharmaceutical research. In healthcare profession, the role of Pharmacist is significant as an expert in drug monitoring and counselling. It is the need of the time to equip the pharmacy students and the researchers to cope up with these challenges. It is the duty of the academic institutions to provide high quality pharmacy education - a kind of pharmaceutical excellence. I am happy to share that our college has been accredited by the KUHS Quality Assurance System, which demonstrates our unwavering commitment to academic excellence and student success. Furthermore, we are actively pursuing other accreditations, showing our ongoing commitment to maintain the highest quality standards in Pharmacy education. We have initiated an IEDC also in our College with an emphasis on innovation and research.
