Do pharmacists attend medical school?

Yes, pharmacists go through medical school to legally practice, requiring a doctoral degree in pharmacy. This means that all practicing pharmacists in the United States have a medical education resulting in a doctoral degree. Prospective pharmacists must pass the Pharmacy College Admission Test to attend medical school and then focus on earning their doctoral degree. In addition to the degree, becoming licensed is also mandatory. After earning their degree, pharmacists often undertake internships or residencies to prepare for their career before becoming fully-fledged pharmacists.
