Hi aspirant!

Pharmacy students (b pharmacy and pharma D students) are trained to use a stethoscope. However they don't use it in their practice. Students are trained to use a stethoscope in anatomy and physiology classes in first year. In practice you might use it to measure pulse if you are practicing in a rural area. In urban areas the practice is more on medicinal guides where a stethoscope is not required.

Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Dear Student,

The stethoscope is an medical device for auscultation, or listening to the internal sounds of an animal or human body. Generally pharmacy students use stethoscope one or two times in their lab works. Pharmacists are trained to use stethoscope, Glucometer etc., but they do not practice it normally. They don't use stethoscope generally.

Hope this helps.
