What is the proper way to list a PharmD degree on paper? Is there a period in there somewhere?I've seen it written many different ways.
I have seen both PharmD and Pharm.D. used. ACPE website has PharmD, and since they created the moniker anyways, I would go with that. That's also what most people's business cards say. I automatically write and type Pharm.D. most of the time, though (because that's what my school used). And if 2 million lemmings cannot be wrong, Google gives 438,000 hits for Pharm.D. and only 173,000 for PharmD 😀
Personally, I think [SIZE=-1]Doctor of Pharmacy sounds more professional. [/SIZE]
RPh 😉
Oh man, my brother does the exact same thing to find out which way the masses go, choice A or B. Funny I should read this since we just came from visiting his family a couple hours ago.
(tries to figure out how to sound Doctor of Pharmacy on paper. Or how to sound the dots or absence thereof in Pharm.D./PharmD) 😕😀
That's funny! I never even thought about checking google to see what the majority does. 😆 I think my school generally uses PharmD without the period.
I hadn't thought about writing it out like this. That does seem to look a bit better on paper.
It's weird though, because ACCP uses Pharm.D. Maybe that's why that form is more popular?
