USA for Pharmacists
The United States licenses pharmacists through the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and individual state boards. Internationally trained pharmacists typically complete FPGEC certification (including the FPGEE), then pass the NAPLEX and a jurisprudence exam (MPJE or the Uniform MPJE) before a state board issues a licence to practise.
