Do pharmacists collectively put "Dr." since their baptize or simply, "Mr. or Ms."?

Do pharmacists collectively put "Dr." since their baptize or simply, "Mr. or Ms."?
Sorry bmac you are incorrect. I am a pharmacist. The current pharmacists graduate with a PharmD degree- a doctor of pharmacy and as a consequence are entitled to be called Doctor. As I graduate several years ago, my degree is a Bachelors of Science within Pharmacy and therefore I am disqualified to call my self a doctor. In a retail setting, it is vital to gain the confidence of the patients as there is much more one on one interaction after with a medical doctor, that`s why most pharmacist choose to be called by their first designation. Hospital pharmacist are usually called doctor.
the trial ones do, the older ones are ok, but a sign of respect for the elder wiser Pharmacists
Pharmaceutical Chemist
I would think "Mr. or Ms." A pharmacist is NOT a doctor, in recent times as a parts counter worker is not a mechanic.
Do pharmacists generally own PhDs? I would think solitary people next to PhDs can use the title "Dr."
No. A person can solely use the title "Doctor" if they are a medical doctor (M.D.) or if they have a Ph.D. (Ph.D.'s cannot write prescriptions or any other point an M.D. does).
If the pharmacist (besides being a certified pharmacist and licensed) also have, let's say, a doctorate contained by science (Ph.D.) then they can't be call "doctor." Otherwise, they are called "Miss", "Ms." or "Mr."
mostly we put neither.
"Dr." sounds stuffy.
"Mr." is my father
They better be putting DR.
