Do you any of you know whether students enrolled in pharmacy school can begin interning without having their license? Thanks!
 
It depends on the state. You will want to check out your board of pharmacy's website to see if they have information about it. If not, you'd have to call them. Sometimes you can get the license right away, sometimes you have to wait. Sometimes you can count the hours right away, sometimes you can't.
 
I know in PA you can get paid as an intern before you get your license, but you can't log intern hours until you get your license. I don't know what happens in reality (whether backlogging of hours happens) since I haven't submitted my hours yet.
