Nepal is a developing country in South Asia. By 2010 there were 15 medical schools. In Nepal there is a huge shortage of different categories of health man power including pharmacists. The discipline of pharmacy practice has not been well developed. All medical schools have a teaching hospital attached to them and a department of Pharmacology with pharmacologists from both medical and pharmacy backgrounds. These institutions have a good opportunity to develop pharmacy practice, though they are not using it. There is scope for starting medicine (drug) and therapeutics committees (MTC/DTC) in each medical school. Pharmacy practice in schools has traditionally concentrated on medicine information, medication counseling and pharmacovigilance. They can be developed under the guidance of the MTC/DTC. The department of Pharmacology should be strengthened and space and resources created. Trained personnel are in short supply and increased financial support should be allotted.
KEY WORDS: Pharmacy Practice, Nepal Medical schools, Medication counseling, Medicine information services.
