Can you get accepted into medical school with a PharmD degree?

<p>From a 6-year direct-to-PharmD program (i.e. no bachelors)? Or do you have to do a classic undergraduate (of 4 years) before applying to medical school?</p>

<p>If you have fullfilled all the course requirements for admission, you do not even need a Bachelors degree in theory. I have met a few people who are studying medicine and did not complete their Bachelors</p>

<p>There's no reason to think you would be at a disadvantage, provided you have fulfilled all the admissions requirements. If anything, your background might be seen as an advantage.</p>

<p>Not having a bachelor's is a major problem. MB's right that it's not an official requirement, but these candidates would have had to be pretty stellar to overcome this deficit.</p>

<p>If you want to pursue Medicine, apply to med schools after Bachelors. It's not worth spending additional time and money in completing a PharmD if you really want to be an MD.</p>

<p>You will be spending additional 2 years worth money, time, and effort repeating many courses in Physiology, Pharmacology, Anatomy, Biochem that you would have to complete in Med school anyway.</p>

<p>If it's multiple degrees you are seeking, why not apply that additional time, money, and effort toward an MD/PhD or MD/MPH or MD/MBA or MD/JD instead?</p>
