In France and in other countries like Portugal, Spain, Belgium or Switzerland, a Biological pharmacist (called Pharmacien biologiste in France) is a Pharmacist specialized in Clinical Biology a speciality similar to Clinical Pathology. They have almost the same rights as Medical Doctors specialized in this discipline. They both are called a "Clinical biologist"".
These Pharm.D. follow a "post-graduate" formation in hospital's medical laboratories.
In France, these specialization called "Internat de Biologie médicale" are a residency and lasts fours years after the five undergraduate years common to all pharmacists.
Famous quotes containing the word biological:
“No further evidence is needed to show that “mental illness” is not the name of a biological condition whose nature awaits to be elucidated, but is the name of a concept whose purpose is to obscure the obvious.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
