Most pharmacy schools only require prerequisite courses for entry. How can a 3 year undergraduate degree for a BS become a doctorate with only an extra year of clinical rotations? Our school dean said that the PharmD is an undergraduate professional degree. Another similar example is Physical Therapy. Only PhDs and medical doctors should be addressed as doctors.
