PharmaByMD began as one postgraduate’s personal study notes — built from multiple sources, organised by exam pattern, and refined through every theory paper and viva.
Today it’s a dedicated space for pharmacology postgraduates: high-yield notes, illustrated articles, a live feed of pharmacology updates, and research support — all built by someone on exactly the same journey as you.
PharmaByMD — along with the StatMD live-polling tool and CuraClash learning game built alongside it — was inspired by my guide and mentor, Dr. Pooja Reddy, Professor of Pharmacology, SAIMS, Indore. Her encouragement, her patient teaching, and her belief that learning can always be made better turned a few personal study notes into something I hope helps postgraduates everywhere. With heartfelt gratitude, ma’am. 🙏
