No, the Pharm D course is not equivalent to a PhD. PharmD is a professional doctoral degree focused on Pharmacy practice, patient care, and medication management, preparing graduates to work as clinical pharmacists. It involves clinical training and emphasizes practical skills for patient-centered healthcare.
In contrast, a PhD is an academic research degree that focuses on conducting original research in a specific field, including pharmaceutical sciences.
