Should Pharmacy Students Learn Entrepreneurship During College?

With the growing startup culture in healthcare and pharma, many students are asking:

Should entrepreneurship be taught in B.Pharm/M.Pharm courses?

Imagine launching your own:

  • Online pharmacy
  • Herbal cosmetics brand
  • Clinical consultancy
  • Health-tech app

But we’re rarely taught how to build a business, pitch ideas, or handle finances in college.

Yes, entrepreneurship should be part of B.Pharm/M.Pharm. With rising healthcare startups, students need skills in business, pitching, and finance. Startup/incubation programs in colleges can spark innovation.

Regardless of the field of study, entrepreneurship should be part of every curriculum.

yes , gained whatever knowledge you can

Yes and why not. Since pharmacy isn’t only about dispensaries. It’s more than that. There are several fields related to Pharma. So yes, entrepreneurships should be also a priority.
