Statements regarding CPJE - California State Board of Pharmacy

Students sharing actual exam questions?
Those idiots, that's the third time in 15 years that the CBOP blew it.
What happened the last 2 times?
what will happen to the residents? the grad interns?
They are even less hireable now. Unemployment gaps are huge turnoffs to employers no matter the excuse, because it means you are sitting around doing literally NOTHING for months on end.what will happen to the residents? the grad interns?
I'd start calling classmates and see about getting lawyers involved. A lot of financial harm has been done here.what will happen to the residents? the grad interns?

Again, no you can't. It's a sovereign immunity issue, and you and rest of us don't have a "right" to your license. That's literally what a license means, the government grants you the ability to conduct operations according to the license. And, you have to establish that they were the cause, which unless the CBOP breached itself, then you have to go after the actual parties that caused the situation to begin with. The CBOP is acting validly within their ambit to ensure public integrity of the licensing process. Just sucks for all those innocents, but the Board isn't the target, the cheaters and the ring are.I'd be suing the CBOP so hard and so fast lol
A bunch of students went in and were able to record or digitally compile questions and created a document that was shared. Unfortunately, one of the students recently ended a relationship with a significant other who was upset over the break up and took the evidence to the CA BOP. Hundreds of people affected due to a lover's scorn.
If you read the Reddit thread on this, someone claimed UCSF students were involved
LOL @ UCSF
LOL @ test security
LOL @ ****ing classmates during school (I only did that AFTER school)
As for jobs in Nevada I saw an opening for part-timer for a Raley's in Elko
Can someone confirm this? If true..UCSF went from #1 to a school fulled of big mouth cheaters.
My gf graduated early May 2019. I believe she had her school sent all the required documents to CA BOP as soon as she could (possibly around April). They gave her a 2 months waiting period; I guess you are not supposed to contact them during that time. Of course they never answer calls nor emails so she physically went to Sacramento twice to see them after the 2 months period. It turned out they lost her transcript due to moving; and blamed it on the school. She didn't get her ATT until mid August (~4 months). I have talked to a few grad interns and most of them have issues with BOP losing paperworks (1 individual they lost her entire application??). As a result many of them are scheduled to take CPJE around this time and unfortunately this happened. Through all this time hearing complaints from gf I can certainly feel the frustration and desperation of new grads. Sure we can't sue them on this cheating matter, I believe lawyers can find plenty of cases like my gf. She is thinking of NV license in the mean time since it might take a few months to come up with new exams (already 5 months unemployed, student loans and uncertainty of getting license anytime soon)
Honey, Western, UOP, and USC have been cheating since the beginning of time. Look at their NAPLEX/CPJE pass rates compared to UCSF. This is nothing new and should've been reported immediately. Someone was just dumb enough to cheat in the first place, and get caught.Statements regarding CPJE - California State Board of Pharmacy

The fault and idiocy of a few does not contaminate the hard work and ethics of many. Stop stereotyping. And it's "a school *filled with", not fulled...Can someone confirm this? If true..UCSF went from #1 to a school fulled of big mouth cheaters.
The class who is taking their boards right now are still part of the legacy 4 year program...…….Maybe the transition to the 3 year program isn’t going as smoothly as hoped.

Even UCSF has some pretty sub-par students but they hide behind the brand name of their school/other graduate programs. You should go listen to their recruiter talk about admissions and how their minimum gpa of 2.8 is a “soft” number and that they consider “the entire application.”
Haha, no affiliation. But no I'm being serious. I'm sure you didn't cheat, but if someone lumped you in the group with the cheaters, you wouldn't be too happy either.This fool sounds so bitter. Tell us what happened. How did your classmates get caught?
Sounds like someone is unhappy they didn't get accepted.Even UCSF has some pretty sub-par students but they hide behind the brand name of their school/other graduate programs.

Research and innovation in the field of pharmacy that gets published into scientific journals.I don't know anything about UCSF but what makes them number 1?

Yeah, the amount of professors at that school that have awards and recognition (e.g. Nobel Prize, etc.), and those professors write proposals for grants, which provide funding for research, then eventually get published and/or get awarded for innovation.What innovation are you talking about?
UCSF is considered number 1 because US News released a ranking based on NIH funding and UCSF was on top.
Went to pharmacy school with a girl that did undergrad in biochemical engineering and barely got a 2.2 in that. In pharmacy school, she got a perfect 4.0 and was only student able to do so. GPA shouldn't be the only factor considered...

IME, not really. I used to precept and took students from several schools. The ranking of the school was more related to the attitude and entitlement vs performance.So school rankings have nothing to do with how well they'll prepare you to get licensed? Gotcha.

Biomedical engineering is a whole different beast so I would have to give them credit even if a 2.2 GPA.
Students these days are getting accepted into pharmacy schools with 2.2 GPAs in their basic prereq courses from community colleges which are a joke compared to hard majors at reputable state schools.
1. Morris-Cody (2003-2006?): Question banking but actual payoffs to clinical professors who had written question (big scandal and led to negative post-tenure review on many faculty which were swept under the rug).
2. UCSD 2009: One idiot professor gave his lover his NABP password for the question writing time and the entire bank for both NAPLEX and MPJE were disclosed, that's the reason for the recentering around that time. The dean of question writers, a New Yorker, gave him the Yankee treatment for thinking with his other head and costing all of us a special year of service hell rewriting and redoing all those questions. Needless to say, the incoming dean at UCSD went through all the appeals and such to sack him (did not let him resign).
To be fair, the era between 2001 and 2006 had game-show rigged questions that only someone in CA or someone who did the review course would know to cover. The worst one was the year before mine with the ACLS question: which was obscure, a topic that was declared to be elective, and one that had a very particular answer. My year was the HIV question, which I remember having to preface my answer with something about ICSA 2004 standards changing before I answered. I passed handily on first try, but I was pretty angry at the time and even now for how bad the psychometrics and topic coverage were. The CALPLEX to MPJE-California Clinical exam have been progressively made more fair, but I still consider the fairest in terms of balance and psychometrics while still being the most difficult exam for pharmacy that I ever took to be the Canadian PEBC (and I actually consider the BCNP to be also very fair but trivially easy for anyone who did the two years postgrad and had enough hours on the subject).
