dc.description.abstractBackground: Pharmacology and pharmacy practice has undergone a sea change over the last century. The most notable change in pharmacy in modern times has been the virtual disappearance of the preparation and compounding of medicines. Pharmacy practical classes still form a part of the MCI curriculum in Pharmacology undergraduate teaching in many states of India including West Bengal. This study was undertaken to assess the attitude of students as well as teachers towards continuation of these practical classes in the curriculum and possible alternatives. Methods:102 students and 12 teachers participated in the study answering a structured and pre-tested questionnaire anonymously. Results: The results showed that nearly 84% students and 50% teachers wanted these practical classes to continue citing various reasons. The most popular alternative to these classes remain demonstration of clinical effects of drugs which was supported by 88.23% students and 91.66% teachers. Conclusion: Pharmacy practical classes can be continued in pharmacology curriculum. But the better beneficial alternatives can also be considered which may be more beneficial to the students.en_US
