Pharmacy and crimal record?

Members don't see this ad.

Do you guys know, or have any information on whether a felony conviction (CA) prevent you from obtaining a state license to practice pharmacy?

I'm asking because a friend of mine wants to pursue a PharmD, but has a felony (many many years ago) and was wondering if there was still hope.

I'm sure it depends on the state and exactly what the felony was. Tell him to talk to the state board in his state.

It makes me laugh out of my a$$ everyone comes with a thread like this and says "My friend wants to know , bla bla with a Felony" Why isnt anyone honest and just say they are the felons!

The line between felony and misdemeanor is a fine one. I have a friend (not me) who was convicted of a felony for a traffic accident. The other party was injured and it happened in such a way as to make intent questionable. She's now working in a medical field and happens to be an upstanding member of society. Don't be so quick to judge.

I concur with Patmcd - consult the board of pharmacy for more information.

Moving to E&L, as this is a licensure question.
