发帖数: 722 | 2 7。doctor ，究竟意味着什么？
在医院里，让我很震惊的一个事实是：Pharm D (Doctor of Pharmacy) 不能被称作
Doctor XX，而只能以first name 相称。为什么？要知道，Pharm D 和MD 一样，也是
个 professional doctor degree 啊。
另外据我所知，我们医院里只有一名PhD是被大家公称为 Dr. Simon 的。她是微生物检
验室的主任，一个不可或缺的厉害角色。
从职业的角度看，在所有healthcare professional 里面，医生和其他工种，譬如
physician assistant 、护士、治疗师的根本区别在哪里？我认为最关键的一点在于，
医生是 decision maker。我曾经和一位教授讨论做护士算不算US Clinical
experience。他说算是算的，但不是最好，因为护士不是一个decision making
position。他更看中虽是见习但却是以医生的身份，因为至少是在医生的圈子里，接触
的都是decision making 的过程。Decision making的圈子 |

发帖数: 126 | 8 接着谈谈学PHARM的过程。嗯，可以用一波三折来形容。刚开始的时候，我按照前面讲
的学FUNDERMENTAL的方法来学PHARM，一切进展顺利。前三次考试，一次EXAM，两次
QUIZ，我都是全班最高分。（我们每次成绩公布的时候会有一个成绩分布表，你直接可
以看得到在班里的位置）当然，最高分可能一次有好多人，比如说QUIZ，一次十几个人
满分都很正常，所以不要被我吓倒。^_^我曾经对LD讲过，这门课拿A很轻松。我承认我
翘尾巴了，也不那么认真学习了，可第二次EXAM的成绩还是着实让我吃惊不小。
25分满分，我只考了13分，全班只有三个同学成绩比我低。怎么会这样呢？我跟老师约
APPOINTMENT去看试卷，还抱着可能是机器批改错的希望。终于看到试卷了，一个都没
有改错。一个APPOINTMENT老师同时见了七八个同学，短短地半个小时，我什么体会与
心得都没有收获到。没有认真学是我没考好的一个原因，更重要的一个原因是不适应题
型的变换。那次考试有多项选择题，老师也没有提前打招呼，直到考试期间不停有同学
上去问，她才告诉我们，大家要choose all the right answers |

发帖数: 1521 | 10 那个pharmacy d，我觉得前景不大好，去药厂做研究做市场营销的有pharm d，但是感
觉还是没有md那么有前途，特别是md/phd那些人，去学校做研究，还是phd力道大。美
国以后真的能搞成医疗电子化，药剂师的工作还是很大部分能被电脑或者流水线代替的
，现在独立的药店越来越少了，以后基本上都是连锁店垄断。药剂师不像医生，搞成垄
断的能力没那么大，医生是有处方权的。那些pharm d,我觉得最后会像现在的law
school，供大于求，非名校毕业很难。
如果医疗档案真的能电子化，药品完全可以搞成自动售货机，使用方法药物禁忌，我觉
得电脑比人的出错率小。
当然，很多人觉得药剂师比护士强，因为莫名其妙的原因。还有药剂师赚20几万，就跟
普通RN赚十几万一样，都是非典型事件，拿小概率事件比没什么意思的，PHD还有年薪
几十万，甚至获诺奖，入阁拜相的。 |

professional doctorate (also
called first professional degree) that prepares the graduate for pharmacy

professional doctorates and academic research doctorates both utilize the
term "doctor", the Pharm.D.,
just like the M.D. or D.D.S., is not a research doctorate and is not
equivalent to the Ph.D.
