Voicing for Career Couseling Center

By Hurma Khan

In our educational system, there isn’t any trend of Counseling for students which help them to better understand their talent.

Not all students are alike and some require proper guidance to choose their career. There are hidden abilities which a student can never explore himself. In this regard Counseling plays a vital role but we are deprived of this blessing.

Well instead of cursing our educational system I would like to highlight a positive step taken by Pharmacy department to ensure better guidance for their students to help them towards prosperity by simplifying their problems through counseling.

This center was established in the month of January this year and it has been named as “Pharmevo career counseling center.” Almost 85% of the students of the first batch to pass out seek guidance from this center have happily attained employments.

The counseling center follows criteria of self assessment after students are done with Pharm-D- to explore the fields of interest of the students. Then the students are asked to choose their desired field of specialization which is followed by checking aptitude level of the students to know whether they comply to their choices or not. The specialization fields are Pharmacology, Pharmacognosy, hospital management and community medicine. Finally lectures by professionals of respective fields and work shops are held to help them to get a feel of competitive environment.

It would make our work easier if we can get the same blessing too as it will help us to show the best path to follow according to our capabilities.

Pharmevo is trying to expand it services in the entire varsity or at least for the whole faculty of Sciences and this intention was showed recently by Dr. Iqbal Azhar, chairperson of Pharmocognosy, department of Pharmacy and members of Pharmevo counseling center.
Currently 180 students are enrolled in the second batch and will past out in December.
