Ok, don't worry, i won't annoy everyone with basic questions regarding how a pharm school acquires accredition. However, i have two questions that hopefully someone out there may have the answer to:
1) I understand that a school has to graduate it's first class in order to meet the final requirement of accreditation but in order for the requirement to be entirely fulfilled, does a certain percentage of that class have to pass the boards? It doesn't make much sense for a school to get accreditation if only 5 graduates can actually practice.
2)From my understanding, all pharmacy schools require a certain amount of pharmacy experience under an intern status. Now, in order to obtain an intern status, you have to be a student at an "accredited" school. How does a new school deal with this? Can a student be an intern if the school as at least a canidate status?
