too many retail pharmacists taking it?
I guess it is a risk that several already assume if you have to get the exam and study materials costs pre-approved for reimbursement.
What incentive does BPS have to suppress the number of applicants? I think they want as many qualified applicants as possible because 1) that's their business model and 2) increase volume in Certification reinforces their narrative that Certification is necessary.
4 out of 4 retail rphs I know passed first try, while 3 clinical rphs I know all failed it. Goes to show the type of job you have doesn't correlate to how knowledgeable/smart you are.
Because their certification model is experience+testing. The test is verification of knowledge but the experience is part of the qualifications. If it doesn't matter what kind of experience a person has they might as well let new grads take the exam. Having technically unqualified people take it dilutes the meaning. If everyone has BCPS then it doesn't mean anything anymore (then something else will come along, and will replace it).
90% of MDs board certified in the US, yet board certification has not been supplanted as the minimal competency standard for practictioners. I did not criticize the experience requirements. I just doubt their motivation is to exclude eligible canidates.
I don't think their motivation is to exclude eligible candidates. I think they believe that there were ineligible candidates taking the exam and they don't have the manpower to audit those candidates between application and certification. So, now they are asking for more proof of eligibility instead of just taking your word for it.
Stopping being self employed
It provides more balance in my signature line:
Ugh. I’m in the process of registering. I got my employment letter and gave them my $600 and a week later, I get an email asking for verification of my hours worked the stated years because I work part time. This is quite frustrating. Is anyone else who works part time running into this problem?
