No! The pharmacist who works at your local pharmacy, in your local CVS, or in your grocery store's pharmacy most definitely DOESN'T have a doctoral degree. My local pharmacist only has a bachelor's. I have a friend who is a pharmacist in a hospital and has a master's. So, no!

No. Pharmacists have required a Doctor of Pharmacy to even sit for the licensing exam.

All graduating pharmacists must now obtain the Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree before they are eligible to sit for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) to enter into pharmacy practice.

They may have been grandfathered in, but the PharmD requirement dates back to 1997, so the majority will have a PharmD.

How old is your local pharmacist and friend? Any newly graduated pharmacist (or hell in the past 10 years) you'll find today has a PharmD.

ETA: I see buckeye_vol beat me to it.
