A Pharmacist is someone who holds either a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) or a Bachelor of Science (Rph). Bachelor degree program takes minimum of 4 years to complete and is regulated by their own College afterwards. In Canada and U.S.A, this program is offered at only select Universities and is a minimum of 5 years. Currently, Rph title and Bacherlos degree in pharmacy are no longer offered. The Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) candidates have to study for 6 years to get the degree in the United States but in foreign countries such as Brazil, it can take up to 14 years of studies.
A pharmacy "technician" is someone who helps the Pharmacists with their work. They can be crudely categorized as the hands of the pharmacist. They will gather all pills, labels, bottles and package it for the pharmacist. They will even gather the prescription, type it up and then later ring it up at the till. The pharmacist will check all elements to make sure the prescription if correct (uses his/her head). Some Pharmacy Technicians have Pharmacy Technician Certification (CPhT) which tests the technicians to basic skills required to work in the pharmacy.

∙ 13y agoA pharmacy intern is a pharmacy student that has finished 2 years of pharmacy school, and has registered with the Board of Pharmacy. In order to graduate, students need to work a certain number of hours in a pharmacy as an intern. In terms of the pharmacy, interns and technicians are pretty much treated the same way and do the same jobs. The pharmacists tend to try to teach the interns a little more, but other than that it's pretty much the same.
