The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Pharmacy (BSIP) program was instituted in 1951 in response to the government’s need for technically trained pharmacist to help shape the budding pharmaceutical industry. Graduates of this degree program are competent in handling the research and development, production and quality assurance requirements of various drug products.

In the last two decades, the rapid growth of the pharmaceutical industry had diversified the roles and functions of the industrial pharmacist. With a growing linage between the drug industry and the government, research institutions and the academe on drug-related concerns, new roles were being taken up by pharmacists while employed in the industry. Thus, they are expected to handle production, planning and inventory control, regulatory affairs, clinical research, marketing and drug information service. On the other hand, advances in technology and developments in worldwide regulatory standards dictate the strengthening and improvement of course offerings in pharmaceutics, quality assurance, management and pharmacology. Hence, a gap between education and practice had emerged. This propelled the College of Pharmacy to review and revise it's BS Industrial Pharmacy program.

It is expected that graduates of the revised curriculum will have a solid foundation in product research and development, manufacturing and quality assurance, pharmaceutical engineering, pharmaceutical marketing and regulatory affairs. Through the graduates of this program, it is expected that the pharmacy profession will greatly contribute to the development of quality, safe and cost-effective medicines which the Filipino people are in dire need of.

Health Informatics covers the organization and management of information in the areas of patient care, research and administration. It focuses on the structuring of health data and knowledge to support data analysis and decision-making in medicine and health care with the use of information systems. It covers a wide spectrum of applications, from computer-based patient records in general practices and hospitals to electronic communication between health care providers, from signal analysis and image processing to decision support systems. Effective delivery of healthcare requires correct decision-making based on proper management of health information.

Most graduate programs in Health Informatics are offered in western countries and are not easily applicable in the local context. When resources are scarce, incorrect decisions based on improper use of information and inappropriate design can worsen the already deprived situation. Hence, there is need for trained personnel to focus systems development in health care in the proper context. A survey among the interns and faculty of the U.P. College of Medicine signified high interest in a formal course in health information management. There are interesting career paths in health informatics including academic research and teaching, institutional management, public policy, information systems development and clinical practice.

Course description:
The Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) program is a graduate course for physical therapists who aspire to advance their competencies as practicing clinicians and to develop a specialized area of practice. The program highlights the use of advanced concepts in the clinics, including critical analyses of theories that underpin practice in physical therapy, a more comprehensive study of the physiological bases of physical therapy, careful integration of research evidence and ethics in decision making, conduct of clinical research, efficient application of the different modes of clinical reasoning, and an enhanced appreciation of issues affecting contemporary practice.

The proposed program comprises four components: courses designed to increase understanding of the theoretical bases and current issues of physical therapy practice; research-related courses designed to improve the physical therapist’s ability to engage in and utilize research to further practice; clinical practice courses to develop advanced professional skills and a mastery of applying the physical therapy process; and a graduate-level elective or cognate which provides complementary competencies.

Full-time students can complete the program in 5 semesters. The first three semesters are classroom-based courses. The fourth semester will focus on the application of knowledge in clinical settings, while the last semester willl be focused on completing a research-oriented special problem and learning a selected topic of choice.
