Hi there, I have a really conflicting and confusing question, but I have registered here mainly due to lack of communication from my fellow peers, but mostly the school of pharmacy.
To get a better picture, I have to somewhat give the full story for understanding and hope for some guidance.
Summary of the Story:
I was a PharmD Candidate of 2018, who had to go on leave of absence as of November 2018 and restarted my rotations as a P4 in June 2018. I had undergone through the graduation ceremony in May 2018, and finished my rotations as of November 2018.
I had initially received discipline and also assistance in terms of mental health from the school of pharmacy from December 2018 to June 2018.
However, upon completion of my November 2018 rotation, the school of pharmacy had not been able to provide me any supportive information in order to take my boards examination and the processes in which I must undergone in order to be licensed as a pharmacist.
Initially I was told in May 2018 to follow-up after I finish my rotations for more information, and any information given to me for the May 2018 graduates should be ignored and not concerned at the time.
I was also under the impression that as soon as I finish my last rotation, I would have an authorization to test be sent following completion, but unfortunately was not informed by the school of pharmacy until a week following a request to "post final grades" in January 2019. It was only then when I asked if they had to wait for final grades to be finalized was when one of the associate deans have informed me.
I had sent e-mails to the head associate dean in December 2018, and also a follow-up a week ago, and have not heard back of any information or supportive instructions to help me get licensed as a pharmacist.
The school of pharmacy was aware of my financial struggles and I had to emphasize that the timing of the examination was crucial in order to meet my financial obligations in 2019.
Now it is February 2019, and I have still not been notified by the school of pharmacy.
I am unsure what I need to do to be registered as a pharmacist, and unsure if there is any legal action I can pursue against the school of pharmacy for lack of student support and guidance.
Please let me know if anyone can help me with this, as this has been stressful, aggravating and further providing poorer mental health to me.
