Objective
I am a professional doctorate pharmacy degree seeking global recognition, better understanding and to take my real vital role in the healthcare chain among other health care professions.

Education
I am the sole degree that qualifies to practice pharmacy in the USA, a graduate degree in many other countries obtained after additional years of study post BPharm degree, and a direct entry degree in others. Pharmacology and clinical pharmacy and therapeutics are extensively studied along with all other pharmaceutical subjects that distinct pharmacists from other medical degrees. Upon completion, I can pursue my studies toward PhD and sometimes Master’s degree, so I can become a more academic and research-oriented degree or I can opt to take a residency program in a hospital to get more specialized in a certain field which makes me more clinical- and hospital-based degree.

Experience
am the only degree that has an extensive knowledge of all aspects related to drugs which includes (but not limited to): drug treatment planning, dosing and dose adjustments, side effects, contraindications, drug monitoring, therapeutic alternatives, drug counselling to patients and other health care professionals, total parenteral nutrition, chemotherapeutic drugs preparation, and prescription of OTC medications.

Employment
I can work at many settings according to my education level and my desire including: community pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, academia, scientific research, etc. In western countries, my jobs are always high paying with very low percentage of unemployment compared to other health professions.
