  3. Of course- it'll be good to in-service diploma pharmacists-but, it may reduce the weight of pharmacy profession in front of other healthcare professionals-for that, the Govt should think about PDF/ PhD/ PharmD[PB]/ PharmD/ Mpharm/ BPharm first- later the bridge courses for in-service pharmacists with standing instruction and time-bound offering of such courses can be launched. At the same time, MCI also can launch such by-epass courses to become Pharmacists/Nurses to become Medical Practitioners. Definitely, I agree with the other commentators that it's is one more step; to down fall the pharmacy profession, if Govt not abolishes DPharm as well as offering medical bridge courses to become medical practitioners for BPharm/Mpharm/PharmD/BSc(N)/MSc(N) professionals
