Well....I have a query abt Studying 1 year honours degree at NIRMA University.
Do we need to have continuing Education of 5 years B.Pharmacy or can we skip a year in between.....because my 4 yr B.Pharm completed this year and i will be doing 1year honours from nxt academic year ??

Does the ECE approve gap in Education or they prefer continous Studies ??

Answer

1. Intern hours is not fixed like 1500. It depends on state you want to get licence . Ex: Micigan 1000 hours , Florida 2,500 hr . Obviously you have to do in US . But some states like Micigahn will reduce number of hours if you have outside experience. It is case by case ..

2. Pharmacy law is a muliple choice exam you need to pass to get licence in a perticular state. If you want licence in any other state, you need to pass other State law exam separtely. Only NAPLEX is common exam to entire USA.

3. Ofcourse ...any where , where pharmacist needed in hospitals, they repect PharmD

4. Not really but it is a subjective question..

FPGEE,ENGLISH, NAPLEX, and law examination

1. FPGEE and NAPLEX and law examination are online exams and you can write only in USA as of today (2009)

2. No need of any work expereince to write FPGEE . You need to complete intern hours to write NAPLEX and Law

3.Another important thing is you need to clear english exams also

TOEFL ibt
Reading 21, Listening 18, Speaking 26, Writing 24.

OR

Paper-based TOEFL – 550
TSE – 50

Without english, no state would give permission to start internship....
