Anyone know what the current non curriculum hour requirement is to sit the board in Pennsylvania? I know it was previously 500, but they waived that last year so I'm unsure what the requirement is for this current year. I called and emailed the board and got two different answers so wanted to check here and see if someone has any better information
PA Board Licensure requirements
- Thread starter heeyebsx3
- Start date
I just got a response from them again which I think is now a more concrete answer, and since I don't know how to delete a thread + someone else might have the same question I'll just post what they said:
"The Board is now accepting 1,500 intern hours from an ACPE-accredited Pharm.D. program until at least 1/1/2020. The Board hopes to make this change in the intern hours requirement permanent and is in the process of amending the Board Regulations. This change does not apply to graduates of foreign pharmacy schools nor individuals with a B.S. in Pharmacy from an ACPE-accredited school of pharmacy.
We are working to improve our website daily. We ask for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience our transition to our new operating system may cause."

Why would you want to work in PA? it's one of the lowest paying states for pharmacists not to mention the state is losing population fast and has a very old population. Hardly anything good happening in PA.

Indeed. If nothing else, PA is full of good food. I've never been to PA, but I know from you and WVU all the good places to eat if I'm ever there.
