I go here...I love it...we just got candidate status. I will give you more on Tuesday if still needed.
Congrats, South. Now you can sign your e-mail "Pharm.D. candidate".

It must depend on the state. 😕
I thought as long as you went to school, you can add that to your title? I've done that since I started here. Oh well, no one has ever said anything to me!
Same here. Our profs told us to go ahead first thing.
So, everybody pick... rock, paper, or scissors!
what does it really matter? Just call yourselves P-I, P-II, etc. That should work just fine.
It matters if you have to write a letter to someone and want to add some sort of title by your name to let them know where you are coming from. Or, if you are giving a presentation, etc.
I can't see why in that case PI, PII etc won't suffice. When I send formal correspondence to anyone I'm M-III Yadda Yadda School of Medicine..
Couldn't you just put:
Richard Head
P-II, UT-Austin School of Pharmacy
I guess it's really semantics, but I was just trying to help... 😉

I personally prefer to say Pharm.D.candidate since it sounds more professional and less awkward.
As a first year student, I used the title "Pharm.D. candidate" in a letter to a therapist where I tried to convince her to discontinue thioridazine for the patient (a relative by marriage), who was taking paroxetine concurrently and exhibiting signs of toxicity and other ill effects. If I had said I was a first year pharmacy student my chances of being taken seriously would have been lower. And, if I had not been able to use a professional sounding title, I do not know that I would have had the guts to voice my concerns in the format that I did.
ps - My dad's name was Richard Peck. He went by "Dick". No joke!

I can see how using PharmD candidate would definitely have its advantages...
Just glad that a few folks out there had their sarcasm meter on and caught my "Richard Head" reference. 😀
