PharmD/PA
Started by pharm4312
No point IMO. Pharmacists generally make about the same or more than PAs, unless the PA is in a fancy private practice office.
The only PharmD/PA I've ever heard of was a pharmacist who worked in a rural location and did PA work on the side. I don't really know how being a PharmD/PA would be practical aside from being a super mid-level practitioner, but that likely won't result in a pay increase and you've done more schooling than an MD/DO to work as a mid-level.
Who knows, it may help you find employment though and set you apart from other applicants.

It seems like the drug knowledge from the PharmD would make for a potentially incredible PA provider. Of course, working as a PA would be choosing the (typically) lower paid of the two positions.
