Talk:Doctor of Pharmacy

message: May the holder of a PharmD use the title of "Doctor" or "Dr." in the U.S.A. (where I am) or is this reserved for physicians only? As I understand, in the U.S.A. the title "Doctor" or the use of "Dr." before one's name may be used by any holder of any doctorate degree as long as it is not done is such a way as to imply that the person has creditentials which he or she does not possess (for example, a JD Lawyer presenting oneself as "Dr. Soandso" in the credits of a medical research study so as to be ambiguous and allow the reader to assume the the "Dr." is representative of an MD degree- just an example). Would other Pharmacists think that I am a presumptious dork if I use the "Dr." title (assuming that I ever graduate as I am planning to begin the PharmD this Fall)? I just always thought that it would be pretty cool to be called "Doctor". Thanks.
To answer my own question above, apparently it is appropriate to refer to a person with a PharmD as "Doctor" and use the prefix "Dr." before the name; the website for the program that I will be going into refers to the faculty with PharmD's as "Dr." Soandso, etc. I'm not sure how appropriate it would be to use it outside of the professional environment though (example, social event: name on guestcard at a banquet would certainly read "Dr. Soandso" for an MD or PhD, would the same be appropriate for a PharmD?). I'm not really as hung-up on this as it would appear, it is just a novelty for me as I would be the first "Doctor" in the family.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.224.0.45 (talk) 22:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Forgive me if I'm mistaken here, but shouldn't Jamaica be listed under the North America or perhaps under a new Carribean section?  It's quite a stretch to say they are a part of Europe. 67.134.115.106 (talk) 15:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Australia and New Zealand aren't mentioned at all on this page, even if the pharmd can't be studied there, the reasons for which and the equivalent qualifications should be discussed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.152.14.201 (talk) 12:08, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

message: In the USA, starting in 1960, the 5 year B.Sc. degree was standard, they had talked then of calling it something else, like a M.Sc. but M.Sc has a stronger focus in emperical sciences. Then in the late 1990's the Pharm.D. became standard.  Academic time was moderately increased through the addition of courses such as evidence based medicine statistical study with focusing on medical literature evaluation.   It also refocused the curriculum to a more clinical approach to the practice of pharmacy and added additional semester hours via clinical rotations. Those with the 5 year degree had to take 2 years of extra study to get the Pharm.D.. Now that more than a decade of Pharm.D being the standard entry degree, the pharmacy schools have come up with optional 1 - 2 year residencies after the Pharm.D degree.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.104.238.100 (talk) 21:46, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
