So if a Pharm D is a professional degree, the same as an MD, OD, DPM, etc. -who are called doctors- then should pharmacists be recognized with the same title?
I always assumed that it was because most current pharmacists only had their BS, but now there is a big push for Pharm Ds, then pharmacists may attain the same title as their physician counterparts. (Yeah, I know that people with JDs and other degrees aren't called doctors, but pharmacists are more medical-related. Or will customers continue to care less and just want their medicine lol.)
Sorry if this post seems irrelevant or ignorant...it was a random thought that entered in my head today as I sipped my coffee
