No, the Pharm D course is not equal to the MD.
PharmD is a professional doctorate in Pharmacy that focuses on drug therapy management, medication counselling, and patient care, preparing graduates to work as clinical pharmacists. It does not grant the authority to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
MD, on the other hand, is a medical degree that trains individuals to become physicians, responsible for diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases.
While both are doctoral degrees in healthcare, their roles, training, and responsibilities are different.
