Dear Allan & others,
The idea of this forum is to move along this line, perhaps beginning in
Malaysia where pharmacy is still "primitive" and now the trend of having
non-pharmacy deans.
Since there is no interest of part of the others, including the Malaysian
Pharmaceutical Soceity (other than just lamenting) maybe this is something
the we could follow through with the help of colleagues from other parts
of the world.
Would SPS be interested in adopting this. We can discuss this when l am in
KK early July?
Billy, has raised a number of good issues that we still grappling with.
Hope to hear from others,
Regards,
Dzul
