Is there anyone in any of the states other than PA who has had trouble getting their CPT authorized for off campus work experience? Please share your stories. Thanks

In PA, you need to get 750hrs on ur own. So the schools usually authorize CPT. But u also need to have good grades to achieve that

For licensure, the school arranges for 750 hrs of ur internship hours via I/APPE. The other 750 hrs u need to get by working in a retail pharmacy or in a hospital as an intern and have ur hours logged in. Are you a prepharm?
