What are the opportunities for pharmacy graduates from india in the USA ???
597438
The opportunities in USA are great for anyone in any field as long as they are GOOD in that field. Many Pharmacy graduates go on to become "pharmacists" who actually fill-in the prescription drugs for patients. Prescription medicines can only be given out by a licensed pharmacist in pharmacies. By law, a pharmacy must have at least one licensed pharmacist. With baby boomer generation reaching senior ages, the medical field is expected to do well over the next several decades.

What is exotic to the US, is not exotic to India & elsewhere.  Perhaps checking with the Indian Health ministry or the United Nations web site (www.un.org) may be helpful to you.  Good luck with your research!

I am guessing that you are enquiring about study in US after completing dentistry course in India (BDS).\n\nI think you can find all the information you need for free from any US consulate or information center in your country. They would be more than glad to provide the correct information to you.\n\nYou can also refer to the following site. There is a section called "US Aspirants Please Go through this". There I think you will find the information you need. \n\nhttp://www.healthmantra.com/USA.htm\n\nI am not sure what the USD 25 brochure is about. I think you would get that information for free also ;-)

I cannot help you but You can find scholarships.  In Europe there are many schools offer scholarships for India. Every US school has a scholarship for your education. First thing is you should know where to study and what to study? Make yourself clear in your idea.  Help yourself. No one will help. Best of Luck.

First, you have to make sure that your Bachelor of pharmacy is equivalent to a Bachelor of pharmacy taught in USA. And if it is not, then you can't do a master of science in pharmacy at any pharmacy university in USA. You will have to work on your bachelor of pharmacy once again. I dont know if you already know that now it takes a good PharmD degree to start your career. However, there are some universities that may be offering a masters in pharmacy, you should check this out. You can find out more information on it at the Long Island University's website. As far as the job is concerned, you first have to get a proper degree in pharmacy before you can start working. As of now, there are good job opportunities in industrial pharmacy.

Actually it's between a Pharm D (Doctorate) and a Masters (RPH) if you want to work in the US as a pharmacist.  The B.S. will prolly on let you work as a Pharmacy Assistant under the direction of a Registered Pharmacist

To be licensed, a pharmacist must have graduated from a school of pharmacy approved by the state board of pharmacy or accredited by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE). Except for the School of Pharmacy at the University of Puerto Rico and the PharmD program of the Lebanese American University in Byblos, Lebanon that was accredited by ACPE in June 2002, no school of pharmacy outside the United States holds ACPE accreditation.\nGraduates of foreign pharmacy schools may meet the educational eligibility requirements for licensure by:\n\n    o Graduating from a US school or college of pharmacy;\n    o Earning Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination CommitteeTM (FPGEC)® Certification; and/or\n    o Following other procedures approved by the state in which licensure is sought.

I have already answered a similar question and this is a repeat of my earlier Best Answer.\n\ncheck the following site for\nMedical Education in the US and how foreign doctors can work in USA.\nhttp://www.fulbright.co.uk/eas/studyus/s...\nI have worked with Indian doctors wanting to go to USA.They adopt the following strategy:\n1.They take USMLE part 1 and part 2 exams in India.\n2.For the 3rd part they have to go to USA as the exam is conducted there only.\n3.Normally visa for doctors is discouraged and as such they go for a MPH or other allied graduate programs in USA.\n4. They have to take GRE/TOEFL for getting admission in these programs.\nYou may contact me admit2003atrediffmail.com\nNBS\nAdmission Source\nSCO 139-141\nSector 17C\nChandigarh\nIndia

Well you could do check the below web sites and with respect to USA you must have clearances from the FDA.

well you could start buy getting a list of the companies and applying for a job there.\nI tend to think that since you have very little background in pharmacy that your odds are fairly slim.\nI would think they want people who have contacts with doctors or others in the industry, but who knows, give it a shot.

Better check what the board of pharmacy in the state where you want to work says.  You may have to repeat many courses to be eligible to sit for NABPLEX which requires that you graduate from an accredited school of pharmacy .  Most PharmD programs are 6 to 8 years in length and require clinical rotations.  After that, you may want to do a residency in a Therapeutic Specialty.  \nAlso, being form outside the US, some states will require as test of your ability to communicate in english as well.\nThe PharmD is a clicial doctorate and the only entry level degree in the U.S. now, so you MUST have it in order to be eligible to sit for the boards and you MUST pass the NABPLEX plus a legal exam to be licensed to practice pharmacy.

My friend went to St. John's in New York and after getting a AA degree (2 years) he spent another 3 years in Pharmacy School.  He now lives in Phoenix, AZ as a senior pharmacist and makes over $100,000 a year.

At least in Arizona, you can be hired as a pharmacy-tech trainee, I work for Walgreens.com. We trained for the CPhT exam at work, we even got reimbursed for the test when we passed it.  Check with your local pharmacies and see what kind of programs they offer.

well....I'm a pharmacist.  What exactly do you want to know? There is and has been such a huge demand it's ridiculous.  I read a pretty good article at salary.com (pretty sure where) explaining the shortage, benefits, etc that might be what you're looking for.  If not feel free to ask whatever.

Foreign Pharmacy Graduate\n\nBeginning January 1, 2003, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) will require foreign-educated pharmacists to have earned their professional degree from a five-year curriculum program in order to apply for Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee® (FPGEC®) Certification. The program change affects only those foreign-educated pharmacists who have earned a pharmacy degree after January 1, 2003. These pharmacists must have graduated from a five-year degree program. The new curriculum requirements do not apply to foreign-educated pharmacists who have earned a four-year degree prior to January 1, 2003. These individuals will remain eligible for the FPGEC Certification under the current program requirements.\n\nThe FPGEC curriculum revision was prompted by the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education’s (ACPE) decision to revise the standards for the entry-level pharmacy degree in the United States from a baccalaureate degree in pharmacy to the six-year PharmD. ACPE, the accrediting body for pharmaceutical education in the United States, will require the six-year degree of all accredited colleges and schools of pharmacy by 2004.\n \nDefinition of a Foreign Pharmacy Graduate \n\nThe FPGEC defines a "foreign pharmacy graduate" as a pharmacist whose undergraduate pharmacy degree was conferred by a recognized school of pharmacy outside of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. United States citizens who have completed their pharmacy education outside the United States are considered to be "foreign pharmacy graduates," while foreign nationals who have graduated from schools in the United States are not. \n\nIf the candidate is a foreign student of pharmacy or has completed the degree in another country, he has to follow the steps below in order to immigrate to USA.\n\n\nVisit the web site www.NABP.org. And get an application form for FPGEE®. \n\n\nVisit the web site www.toefl.org and get an application form for TOEFL & TSE. It is preferable to start these exams even though one has not had an approval from FPGEE®. These exams are valid for 2 years. \n\n\nThe candidate will need at least 550 in TOEFL & 45 to 50 in TSE (depend on states) to pass success fully. \n\n\nIt is advisable to apply for FPGEE® now even though one is planning to take up the exam later on, since it may take 6 to 9 months to get an approval from FPGEE®. \n\n\nOnce the application forms are filled make sure to fulfill all their requirements (i.e. size & specification of photographs, color of ink pan to fill the form, requirement of the official documents etc.). Follow strictly the information booklet (from FPGEE®) to fill the application form. Any error in application form may delay approval for 3 to 4 months. \n\n\nAfter passing all these exams, the candidate will receive FPGEE® certificate that can be used for sitting in state board exam (NAPLEX®). \n\n\nGoals and Objectives of the FPGEC\n\nThe Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee® (FPGEC®) operates under the auspices of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®). Established in recognition and fulfillment of responsibilities for public health care and education, the FPGEC's goals are:\n\nto inform foreign pharmacy graduates about FPGEC Certification and the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency ExaminationTM (FPGEE®); \nto evaluate the qualifications of foreign pharmacy graduates who apply for FPGEC Certification; \nto oversee the development of the FPGEE; and \nto cooperate with other agencies concerned with foreign pharmacy graduates.\n\nFPGEC Certification\n\nNABP provides the FPGEC Certification program as a means of documenting the educational equivalency of a candidate's foreign pharmacy education, as well as the license and/or registration. In the process of FPGEC Certification, candidates provide documents that verify their educational backgrounds and licensu
