Need advise on pharmacy residency in Canada

SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)

Hello,

I am a pharmacist who recently immigrated to Canada and am planning to start my career here. As part of the US education system for pharmacy, I have a Doctorate in Pharmacy, whereas in Canada it is not a requirement. In order to utilize my degree more efficiently, I wanted to obtain a clinical pharmacist position. My question now is whether having a doctorate degree from US is enough to gain a position or doing a year residency is requirement for a job as a clinical pharmacist as it is in United states?

What is the difference in pay of a Clinical, hospital and a retail pharmacist?

Any information and advise from practicing pharmacists is highly appreciated as it will help me make an informed decision

Thank You

Have you done any networking in your area? I'm assuming that not even discussing city-to-city, but on the province level there's probably a difference in pay averages. Best of luck!
