The whole idea of comparing MD to PHARM D is useless because each of them is unique and crucial in providing patient care. The doctor needs the expertise of a Pharmacist and visa versa.

@testsubjectzz While you are entitled to your opinion, a Masters in pharmacy is not really offered in the United States anymore. A doctor of pharmacy is required, since pharmacists in all fields are taking on or gearing up to take on greater responsibilities.

Pharmacists know way more then the arrogant narrow minded doctors. Sometimes pts are prescribed certain drugs because the dr is getting kickbacks from the pharmaceutical reps. Trust your pharm when it comes to drugs

@kaydinyan ...and a pharmacist doesn't? Doctors are experts on diagnosis, disease states, and what class of medications are appropriate to treat what kind of illness the patient has. Pharmacists on the other hand, are experts on every detail about each drug and how it effects each specific patient based on their system functions... you need both for a optimal care

[kaydinyan]

You need to look at the whole patient when prescribing medications. Doctors look at the whole patient (or should anyway) and should make decisions based indications and contraindications of the patient's medical history. The patient may have an allergy or have a medical condition which which will prevent a certain drug to be used.

I'm not a Doctor or a Pharmacist, but I know a lot about prescription drugs. I have had to explain certain meds to doctors that I have seen, who didn't know the drug existed.

Here in mexico we pharmacist rule because we know all the drugs if need anything you dont have to (call your doctor for filling you narcotics)

[TheUchicago2012]

An MD spends four years in medical school learning about drugs... and how to diagnose disease, how to perform clinical evals (most of last 2 years, actually), etc etc. A pharmacist spends four years in pharmacy school learning about drugs.

I'm going with the pharmacist.

Some MDs seem to think that because they're a doctor they're an expert on EVERYTHING.... idiots.

[montblancboheme66]

You know the difference in a PharmD and MD? It's PHAR...

Well, I'll admit, I do like pharmacists. They are very knowledgable about drugs and are helpful to have around on the wards to answer questions about random drug interactions, etc.

@MistDrummer then u agree for correlation with pharmacists in perspective of pharmacokinetics only and not pharmacodynamics ? and by the way , yes i agree with you the physician must be trained to decide which therapeutical courses best suite with the case, but the pharmacist is more knowledged about the pharmacology of the drugs used in such treatment and therefore play role in the treatment plan of the patient.

Thanks :) ..
