    Yes, Pharm D course (Doctor of Pharmacy) students and graduates can use a stethoscope, but it's important to note that the primary use of a stethoscope is associated with medical doctors, particularly those in fields like Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Pulmonology, and other specialities that require auscultation (listening to internal body sounds) as part of their diagnostic process.

    It's important to recognize that while a Pharm D course graduate may have the knowledge to use a stethoscope, the primary clinical focus of pharmacists is related to medications and patient care in that context, rather than performing medical diagnostics.
