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:
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
