Individuals involved in medicinal administration help create an environment in which the health of a population or patient groups is protected and promoted both effectively and efficiently. They are the professionals in a dynamic and interdisciplinary field who may have tremendous influence on the availability, accessibility, and quality of pharmaceutical and related products, drawing on a balance between the business side of pharmaceutical development and providing top quality and highly effective treatment options. The practicality of their expertise may lie anywhere in the lifecycle of pharmaceutical products encompassing research and development, patent approval, marketing authorization, enlistment and procurement, supply and distribution, rational use, pharmacovigilance, etc.
