Can Pharm-D doctor of pharmacy holders write Dr before their name?
SYEDAMARIA
An pharmacy student, can infact use the prefix Dr in his or her name, but only if they graduate with a doctorate degree in pharmacy (or pharmacology). Either way, if you have earned the doctorate, you've earned the prefix of Doctor (Dr). However, if the student has yet to earn their doctorate, then no the prefix is not to be used. It's the same with any doctorate degree.

∙ 11y agoTechnically, only a P. Hd. or a MD can write Dr. as a prefix, however there seems to be now specific law which clearly mentions who can and who cannot write Dr. before there name hence, physiotherapist, pharmacists, LMP, BHMS etc all write Dr. before there name, however they are not entitled to do so.

Should you get a BA for a six year pharmacy college?
In the US, a pharmacy degree has always been a five- or six-year degree which begins right after high-school. So, then, a bachelors degree, first, typically isn't necessary. In the old days, it was a typically six-year-long "Bachelor of Pharmacy" or "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy" degree; but the accreditor of all the pharmacy schools has changed the nomenclature such that it's now called a "Doctor of Pharmacy" (PharmD) degree. It is, however, a professional, and not an academic degree, and so it's not really at the academic doctoral level. It is, in fact, four years of undergraduate, or undergraduate-plus-post-baccalaureate-level study that begins immediately after a two-year academic associates degree. So, then, it's not an academic four-year bachelors degree that one needs before entering pharmacy school; but, rather, an academic two-year associates degree... ...then, from there, one enters the four-year "PharmD" program. A full six-year "PharmD" program may be entered right out of high school; or one may get one's associates degree (or finish the freshman and sophomore years of a bachelors degree) and then enter the four-year "PharmD" program. Either way will work. Of course, some people don't like the idea of never having gotten a proper bachelors degree before getting the PharmD degree. In that case, then, yes, one goes ahead and gets one's bachelors degree... on pretty much anything, really; and then, from there, depending on the pharmacy schoool, one gets an either three- or four-year-long PharmD degree. If one is absolutely certain that one will only ever be a pharmacist in life, then not getting a bachelors can work fine. But on the off-chance that one may end-up not becoming a pharmacist (or one quits pharmacy) after all in life, one really needs a bachelors degree to even get the kind of job that, twenty five years ago, a person with only an associates degree -- or maybe even only a high school diploma -- could get. So, bottom line, I always recommend getting the bachelors, no matter what. Just take the four years to get that first; and then, after that, enter whatever PharmD program one wants to enter... ...but that's just me. The bottom line is that a person may become a pharmacist, with a "PharmD" degree, six years after graduating from high school if one wants.
