17th National Conference of ISRPT at SCB Medical College, Cuttack

The Indian Society for Rational Pharmacotherapeutics (ISRPT) will convene its 17th annual national conference at SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack on October 26-27. The event is scheduled to take place in the institution’s newly-commissioned auditorium and is expected to draw more than 400 doctors from across Odisha and at least 60 national and international faculty members from India’s pharmacology and therapeutics community. A total of about 90 research papers will be showcased, while parallel tracks covering academic and industry themes will facilitate rich exchange of views.

One of the conference’s core goals is to highlight how pharmacologists are increasingly integral to hospital procurement and medicine-selection processes in government facilities. As organising secretary Trupti Rekha Swain noted, the evolving role of pharmacologists places them in a unique position to educate young doctors about rational pharmacotherapy across clinical settings.

Interdisciplinary and industry-academic focus at the ISRPT event

The structure of the conference features two simultaneous tracks—one focused on academic research and another on industry engagement. Workshops, lectures, and poster sessions will cover topics including rational use of medicines, pharmacovigilance, good laboratory practice, scientific writing and more. With around 90 research papers slated for presentation, the forum is expected to foster interaction among clinicians, pharmacologists and industry experts alike.

Das, scientific committee chairperson is Sabita Mohapatra and workshop committee chairperson is Jayanti Prava Behera. Together they will steer the two-day event and its accompanying pre-conference workshop scheduled for October 25.

Significance and relevance of the conference in India’s healthcare context

The Indian Society for Rational Pharmacotherapeutics was formed to promote the safe, effective and cost-efficient use of medicines across medical practice in India.

With concerns around medication safety and rational drug use remaining high, platforms such as this conference take on added significance, offering opportunities for knowledge dissemination, networking and professional development.
