Hello Student!

Yes, if you complete your B.Pharm through lateral entry, you can definitely pursue a Pharm.D, but keep in mind that it won't be the usual 6 year program.

Typically, a B.Pharm through lateral entry takes about 3 years, and then there's the Pharm.D, which is specifically a 3 year program for B.Pharm graduates.

Whether or not you can get in really depends on the specific rules of the university or college you're looking at and the PCI eligibility criteria. So once you've finished your 3-year B.Pharm lateral-entry course, you can generally apply for the Pharm.D. If you let me know which university you're interested in, I can help you find out more about their admission process and eligibility.

Best wishes for your studies!
