Not true, same can prescribe. Note the word "clinical" in the title.

Wrong. They can only “prescribe” in a VERY limited sense. An MD can define a certain protocol that a Pharmacist can deliver certain drugs within the protocol. The MD will describe a certain patient set under which certain meds may be given in limited, defined circumstances. These patients are still defined as under this physician’s responsibility and the Pharmacist is acting as an agent of this specific MD in his actions for this proscribed patient set. This is FAR REMOVED from an MD’s open prescriptive authority. I know from where I speak.
