Hi,

I am currently working as a assistant pharmacist in UK and planning on moving to USA for career growth, I have searched google but couldn't find much details on this.

I appreciate if someone can suggest on how to approach the career path...

1) what are the immediate steps that I need to take .
2) because of my career I am flexible on moving to Industrial Pharmacy or corporative pharmacy.

3) what would be better is corporative pharmacy or Industrial pharmacy.


Thanks.

Does your move have anything to do with UK gov cuts 500K jobs?

I worked with a pharmacist who was from the UK. I know when he came over he had to do a large number of "experience" hours (read: unpaid) to get his license. I'm not sure about how the visa process, etc, works, though.

First you need to get a visa. Many companies/hospitals are not sponsoring work visas anymore.
I am not sure what you do in UK. If you have some unique experience or skill sets you might be able to get a job.
If you are just a retail pharmacist in the UK and you want to come work over here, then good luck.
