Hi
I have a relative coming to USA , who has accomplished 2 years of Diploma and 4 Years of Degree Pharmacy in INDIA (year 2008 ) .
I understand to get a license we need pass the exams the exams :
TOFEL + FPGEE + NAPLEX + State Law Exam
To get FPGEE you need a 5 year degree so it add's collage study , I m not sure how many year's it take ?

But want to explore other good options for a foreign pharmacist , let me list few I know but will appreciate if anyone can suggest more or give more
information on the options

1. MBA Healthcare
2. MBA Pharmacy Management
3. Clinical Research Associative
4. Work with production industry which don’t need license

when i was considering going to london, UK for pharmacy school... i did some research and found out that there are some schools that will take you right after high school and its a 4 year program... but to come back here you have to:

intern for a year at a pharmacy: community or hospital
take the foreign pharmacy equivalency exam
the naplex exam

they have also made this process harder so foreign grads have a harder time... basically what happened with foreign doctors over the years...
