 Re: Can I still become a pharmacist in USA after graduating from UEA
Your degree lasts four years (hence why they call it a master of Pharmacy Degree) then you do a year of training after that called the pre-registation year. However, if you go to Bradford they split your pre-reg year into two blocks of six months. You will do six months in fourth year, then the second six months in your fifth year... ie- your fourth (and fina) year is also split into two blocks, so you will be at Bradford for five years if you go there.
Finally, just a little bit of knowledge i picked up from the BPSA conference this year: We had a visit from an american Pharmacy student. And i think she said that British Pharmacists have to do a two year conversion course to be able to practice legally in the US. The exact details of what needs to be done elude me so it may well be worth looking at the link JohnEp posted.
