* PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy): Focuses on the science and practice of dispensing and preparing medications, as well as counseling patients on their medication use. Pharmacists are experts in drugs and their interactions.
* MD (Doctor of Medicine) or DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine): Focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. Medical doctors provide a much broader range of care, including surgery, hospital admissions, and primary care.
A PharmD allows you to practice as a pharmacist. To become a medical doctor, you need to complete an MD or DO program.
