Federal Health Minister announces establishment of a new qualification.
At last night’s Pharmacy Guild of Australia Annual Parliamentary Dinner, the Federal Health Minister, Mark Butler, announced the establishment of a new Masters of Pharmacy (Extended) qualification.
The change means graduates of the new Level 9 Extended Masters of Pharmacy degree will earn the title of Doctor of Pharmacy.
It elevates the profession in line with the recognition bestowed on other health professionals such as physiotherapists, podiatrists, optometrists and dentists.
More details in today’s issue of Pharmacy Daily.
