Sure. Pharmacy is an excellent preparation for medical school. I know one pharmacist who is now a physician, and I'm sure there are plenty more out there.
How to do it:
Make sure your undergraduate coursework contained all the med school pre-requisites
Take and do well on the MCAT
Apply to, get accepted into, and complete medical school (4 years of study)

anyone who goes to the proper school and passes can become a doctor.
A pharmacist must go back to school to become a doctor.
One of my classmates in medical school was a pharmacist, and I know a couple of other guys who went into pharmacy and later medicine.
