PharmD

A PharmD, or Doctor of Pharmacy, is a professional degree for pharmacists who are qualified to dispense medications, advise patients on their proper use, and collaborate with healthcare providers to optimize medication therapy. The program typically involves extensive education in sciences, patient care, and pharmacy practice, preparing graduates to ensure safe and effective medication management. Unlike traditional pharmacists, PharmD graduates can play a broader role in healthcare, including clinical decision-making and patient counseling, making them essential contributors to overall health and safety.
