A pharmacist is a healthcare professional who specializes in the preparation,dispensing,and management of medications and who provides pharmaceutical advice and guidance. Pharmacists often serve as primary care providers in the community,and may offer other services such as health screenings and immunizations.
A Doctor of Pharmacy is a professional doctorate in pharmacy. In some countries,it is a doctoral degree to practice the profession of pharmacy or to become a clinical pharmacist. In many countries,people with their Doctor of Pharmacy are allowed to practice independently and can prescribe drugs directly to patients. A PharmD program has significant experiential and/or clinical education components in introductory and advanced levels for the safe and effective use of drugs. Experiential education prepares graduates to be practice-ready,as they already have spent a significant amount of time training in areas of direct patient care and research.
A Bachelor of Pharmacy is a graduate academic degree in the field of pharmacy. In many countries,this degree is a prerequisite for registration to practice as a pharmacist. Since both PharmB and PharmD are prerequisites to license in most western countries they're considered equivalent. In many western countries,the foreign graduates with BPharm,PharmB or BS Pharm practice similarly as PharmD graduates. It is analogous to MBBS vs. MD where MBBS is foreign equivalent of MD. It is training to understand the properties and impacts of medicines and developing the skills required to counsel patients about their use.
