Introduction:
In its continuous pursuit of academic excellence and professional development, Dr. Hahnemann Homoeopathy Medical College & Research Centre is proud to have organized a highly insightful Faculty Development Program (FDP). The event focused on a critical yet often overlooked aspect of modern medicine: pharmacovigilance in homeopathy. This program was designed to empower our faculty with advanced knowledge, ensuring our institution remains at the forefront of safe and scientific homeopathic practice.

Why Pharmacovigilance? The Pillar of Drug Safety
Pharmacovigilance—derived from the Greek pharmakon (drug) and Latin vigilantia (to keep watch)—is the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other medicine-related problem.

Learning from the Leader: A Session with an Eminent Expert
We were honored to host a distinguished authority in the field as our session speaker:

Dr. R. Valavan, MD (Hom), MBA, PhD.
Head—Scientific, Medical & Regulatory Affairs
Dr. Willmar Schwabe India Pvt. Ltd.

Dr. Valavan’s unique profile—combining deep clinical expertise in homeopathy (MD), advanced management skills (MBA), and research acumen (PhD)—provides a holistic and authoritative perspective on the pharmaceutical industry. In his pivotal role at Dr. Willmar Schwabe, a global leader in homeopathic medicines, he is at the forefront of integrating scientific rigor, medical ethics, and regulatory compliance.

A Commitment to Future-Ready Homoeopathy
This event is a testament to our college’s commitment to moving beyond traditional teaching methods. We are dedicated to fostering an environment of continuous learning, scientific inquiry, and professional excellence. By engaging with topics like pharmacovigilance, we prepare our students and faculty to be confident, responsible, and forward-thinking practitioners of homeopathy.
