About iCAPP 2025

Clinical Pharmacy is a budding area of pharmacy practice in India. The Pharmacy Council of India introduced the Doctor of Pharmacy program in 2008 to increase the manpower available to expand Clinical Pharmacy Practice in the country. Although the program succeeded in its primary mission of expanding the manpower availability, the slow adoption of this new profession by hospitals has slowed down the provision of pharmaceutical care services to patient.

Acharya & BM Reddy College of Pharmacy, Bengaluru is extremely delighted to invite you to the Third Edition of Acharya's mega event, iCAPP which is an annual congregation of clinical pharmacists hosted by the department of Pharmacy Practice, ABMRCP to equip them with all the skills to excel in their Profession.
