[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"Pharmacy is a profession that requires a license in order to practice as a pharmacist. In pursuing the B.Sc. Pharm degree, you move towards becoming eligible for a license to practice as a pharmacist. Subjects studied in pharmacy include the pharmaceutical sciences (pharmaceutics), pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, pharmacy practice, etc. The main responsibility of a pharmacist is to provide safe and effective use of medication for the patient. The pharmacist is also responsible for the legal distribution of scheduled drugs..

A degree in pharmacology is a science degree and cannot be used in applying for a license to practice pharmacy." .

Pharmacy = You get a 6 year professional doctorate degree (PharmD), get licensed practice as a practitioner of pharmacy, work in retail, hospital, ambulatory stuff, crap like that (more than likely involving patients).
Pharmacology = a "real" doctorate (PhD), you have to go to grad school AFTER a prior degree, like 8+ years, no real licensure stuff to worry about, work in academia, a lab somewhere, industry, stuff liek that (more than likely not involving patients) - if you want to get into drug discovery, this is your path. (or med chem)

I hate when people say "Oh... don't you want to be a pharmacologist..." or "Aren't you going to school to be a pharmist"
I mean come on... they go to a pharmacy at least once a month and they can't say "pharmacist"?
Just something that bothers me.
