 The PharmD — UNC School of Pharmacy
The PharmD is neither an undergraduate degree (such as a BS or BA) nor a graduate degree (such as an MS, MBA, or PhD).
The UNC School of Pharmacy boasts one of the nation’s leading PharmD programs, combining rigorous coursework with applied learning opportunities from drug discovery to patient care. Practice experiences, coordinated through the Professional Experience Program ensures that each student develops the technical skills, communication skills, professional judgment, and clinical competency required of professional pharmacists.
While the School does not offer a combined PharmD/PhD program, PharmD students interested in pursuing a PhD may choose to expedite their training by choosing elective courses from the graduate curriculum and by using a research clerkship to explore potential topics for dissertation and research.

 Consultant Pharmacist: February 1999 | Meeting the PharmD Challenge
In essence, a PharmD is a BS augmented by a clinical rotation, both of which veteran consultant pharmacists already have-in spades.
The arrival of the "all-PharmD curriculum"-the upshot of the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education's 1989 mandate that all accredited pharmacy schools phase out the BS and move to the PharmD as the sole entry-level pharmacy degree no later than the year 2000.
However, in talking with several consultant pharmacists at various stages of their career, the consensus of most seems to be that meeting the PharmD challenge might not be as tough as many might fear and that there are many concrete benefits to be gained through attainment of the additional academic credential.
