Medicine vs Pharmacy ( Similarities and Differences)

What are the similarities and differences of Medicine and Pharmacy in terms of the knowledge of students learnt in their programme?? It is obvious that medicine students learn surgery while Pharmacy students don't. But apart from that, are there any other differences??
I think pharmacy students learn a little less about the general anatomy and workings of the body, and are more focused on how drugs and medicines may affect the workings of the body

As above, but Pharmacy students learn a lot more about the pharmacology (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics) of drugs and formulating medicines than Medicine students.
