Thank you for your recent e-mail. The following information should assist you in obtaining requirements for pharmacy licensure and practice in the United States.
In order to practice pharmacy in the U.S., individuals must be licensed by the state in which they wish to practice. Information on the specific requirements for licensure may be obtained directly from the board of pharmacy in the state where you are seeking licensure. All state boards within the United States, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, require candidates to pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX), as part of their assessment of competence to practice pharmacy. The NAPLEX is a computer-adaptive examination developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). Applications to sit for the NAPLEX may be obtained directly from the board of pharmacy in the state where you are seeking licensure.
Before taking the NAPLEX, states require that candidates provide documentation of appropriate pharmacy education. For candidates who have graduated from a school of pharmacy outside of the United States, most states would require them to demonstrate that their pharmacy education is equivalent to that of graduates of accredited U.S. schools of pharmacy. In most of the states, earning Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) Certification is the approved method to document this educational equivalency. Candidates who earn FPGEC Certification usually go on to take the NAPLEX and other licensing examinations that are required by the state where they intend to practice.
NABP administers the FPGEC Certification program. FPGEC Certification attests that graduates of foreign schools of pharmacy possess education equivalent to graduates of U.S. schools of pharmacy. The FPGEC evaluates only undergraduate pharmacy education - postgraduate education/qualifications are not evaluated. In the process of Certification, candidates must document their educational background in addition to their license and/or registration, pass the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE), pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score of 550 or higher on the paper-based TOEFL or a minimum passing score of 213 on the computer-based TOEFL, and pass the Test of Spoken English (TSE) with a score of 50 or higher or the internet-based TOEFL (iBT) with minimum passing scores of 24 for the Writing, 26 for Speaking, 18 for the Listening and 21 for the Reading on one score report. Awarding the FPGEC Certificate allows foreign graduates to partially fulfill eligibility requirements for licensure in the jurisdictions that accept the Certification.
I then wanted to know whether it mattered where I graduated from
In order to be accepted into the program the courses just need to be accredited it does not matter where you graduated in the UK, if you have further questions please contact Customer Service, thanks.
