I am Ghanaian trained Pharmacist who wants to register in New York or New Jersey, where do i start from?

We Answered:

Go to New Jersey.gov and New York.gov for a Department of Licensing or Board of Pharmacy to find the authority that issues licenses. Tell them about your situation. They could advise you as to whether it would be possible to advance your education with a graduate degree in the US to qualify to take the exam. Best wishes.

How hard is it to become a pharmacist?

We Answered:

"To work as a pharmacist one must have a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, known as a Pharm.D. Pharmacy programs are usually four years long and must be accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).To gain admission to pharmacy school, one must have at least two years of college study with courses including math, chemistry, biology, physics, humanities and social sciences. Applicants generally have to take the Pharmacy College Admissions Test. Doctor of Pharmacy programs include coursework in pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology (effects of drugs on the body), toxicology and pharmacy administration.It takes about 6 years."

Some universities have a 6 year program which combines the undergraduate training with the pharmacy training. Read up more on it using the links below.

"In the U.S., pharmacists must pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Exam administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). Most states also require graduates to pass the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE), a test of pharmacy law, also administered by the NABP. Other states administer another exam that tests knowledge of pharmacy law. Several states also require additional state-specific exams. All states, except California, grant license transfers from other states.

Pharmacists must have scientific aptitude and good communication skills and be detail-oriented."
