Eligibility
Registered pharmacist (D.Pharm / B.Pharm) with valid state council registration.

12 weeks — classroom modules plus supervised clinical practicum.
Curriculum covers
Essential medicines list, dispensing protocols, basic diagnostics, referral pathways, patient records.

Certificate of Completion + guidance on state licensing for setting up a health centre.
From pharmacy counter to community health centre
Many pharmacists in semi-urban and rural India are the first point of healthcare contact. This programme formalises that role — giving pharmacists the training and certification to run a compliant, community-facing health centre alongside their pharmacy practice.
Note: Setting up a health centre / poly-clinic remains subject to state health department licensing and applicable clinical establishment regulations.
