Does Pharm D Require MDCAT?

Published in Pharmacy Admissions 1 min read

No, the MDCAT (Medical and Dental Colleges Admission Test) is not required for admission to a Pharm D program.

The MDCAT is specifically designed for entry into medical and dental schools, not pharmacy programs. Pharmacy programs typically have their own admission requirements, which may include a standardized test like the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) or a university-specific entrance exam.

For example, in Pakistan, some universities have their own internal entrance exams for Pharm D programs. However, in general, the MDCAT is not a prerequisite for pursuing a Doctor of Pharmacy degree.
