hmmmm...difference between you and a pharmacy student? Aren't you a pharmacy student getting a Bachelors in Pharmacy?..... assuming you're not a US student..

Apparently they teach english slang in India...

Well - there is help, you just weren't very clear about the help you wanted.

Clarify for us - what is the difference between your program (you must tell us more about what that program is & where) & a pharmacy program (are you asking about a US pharmacy program)???

So for your first question - there is no answer unless you get more specific. I'm going to stick my neck out & say there is the difference between night & day between the programs, but I can't be sure without more information.

For your second question, what to do this summer? Well - again, where are you & what are you qualified to do? If you're in the states, there is lots of info on the FAQ's about techs. But...you must have better verbal & written English skills than you've demonstrated to work here.

Now...on your last frustrated post - I'd be the first to stand up & count myself as not a Bush fan, but your opinions on our President have absolutely nothing to do with your questions on this pharmacy forum - so...keep those to yourself or take them to a more appropriate forum.

There is help, unfortunately most people on this forum don't have experience in foreign pharmacy programs, so we won't always be the most helpful. Regarding the difference I would suggest doing some research on your own. You should be very familiar with your own program. To compare just search the curriculum at some of the various US pharm schools and you'll be able to tell the difference in curriculum. (aacp.org and pharmcas.org would be the quickest index of schools in the US.) In terms of what to do over the summer, it depends on what you have available to do over the summer. Most people in the US find a job and work as an intern. Not sure if that's an option where you are. If you have any other questions I'd suggest two things. Try not to insult the intelligence of those who you are asking questions of, even if the answers aren't what you expected. It's the easiest way to keep other people considering your questions. Also there are a few posters asking about FPGEE in the Licensure/exams area, you might PM one of them as they would be in a similar situation to yourself, a foreign pharmacy student wanting information on US programs.

I'm not sure where you're studying in KSA but here's the BPharm course outline from KSU.

http://colleges.ksu.edu.sa/phrm/index.php?mod=view_content&content_id=231

Is this similar to your coursework?

Here is the curriculum for the PharmD program from USC.

and the prereqs required for admission to the program.

Hopefully this gives you some comparison. The programs differ from state to state and school to school, but this should be a start.

I heard a pharmacist told me that one school in US is offering bachelor of pharmacy. However, even though they took the license exam in US, they can only be a registered pharmacist(Rph), but not a Pharm D. From what I heard, hospitals only hire Pharm D, retail pharmacies may varies. One of the pharmacist I worked with got her bachelor in Philippine, she studied very hard for her license exam, and became a Rph here.

RPh has to do with licensing, not schooling so yes, if you get BPharm you would have to go back to school to get PharmD, but you could get RPh provided you pass the appropriate licensing exams. I'm not sure how the process works for foreign grads. I know about the FPGEE, but I'm not sure if PharmD is required if you have BPharm from somewhere else. Hiring practices are a whole different story. I can't really address that at all.

No accredited schools in the US offer a BS in pharmacy which will lead you to be able to sit for the licensing examination.

The conversion to PharmD only degrees occurred in 2000 in this country & that is still the current entry level degree for licensure.

There are pharmacists who graduated before 2000 who have BS Pharmacy degrees & their degrees are as valid as mine or a graduate this year. They can also sit for licensure examinations in any of the states.

But - there are no current schools in the US offering a BS degree which will qualify you to become a licensed pharmacist in this country.

I wonder is there any bright future for a pharmacist graduated with BS Pharm.?

of course there is if you graduated from a school in the USA before 2000.
