The Pharmaceutical Managers' Institute of Ireland is dedicated to fostering excellence in management practice among its members, through education, partnership and social interaction.  Having been recognised by the Institute that there is no formal academic qualification in the area of business management, the PMI is partnered with UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School to deliver a structured educational programme leading to a professional Diploma in Pharmaceutical Business Management.
