Oh, I'd like to ask about the Canadian B.Pharm also..
I have a friend working down there as a regular retail pharmacist.
I'm wondering if hospitals will still take B.Pharms, or will they still prefer pharm D's?

I think I asked this before.. but I forgot.
Thansk!

we have a student who has her BS from korea but is working on her pharmD

i don't know anything about foreign degrees but i know the new language of the laws state "pharm D"

as for hospitals....
for clinical positions they typically want pharm D residency trained (depending on hospital) unless you've been working there for a while.

As far as the easier states to be liscensed in... most require a law test but there are states that have a seperate "board" exam. i would avoid those states (as you are able to recriprocate into them later)

is there a region of the country your cousin will be living in??

hey she actually lives in jersey. but my cousin is thinkin about relocating. so wherever the licensing is easier I suppose. I'd figure the southern states would be more lenient. because of the high demand.
