intern license hours

[need4beads]

Does anyone know if CA state board will recognize intern hours done in TX? Has anyone tried and succeeded in getting hours at TX state board to transfer to CA state board?

I am going to be practicing in a different state from where I am graduating so I was wondering the same thing. I contacted the board of pharmacy in that state to make sure.

You might also find info on the board's site www.pharmacy.ca.gov

it all depends on the state...
for example...
alabama will take hours from another state as long as they are "certifed" by that state... alabama also requires that hours can only be obtained under a licensed preceptor...

ok now tennessee will give you hours under any pharmacist but there are licensed preceptors there.
they will only certify hours under a license preceptor...
so while yes alabama will take tenn hours they have to be done from a licensed preceptor in tennesee

virginia on the other hand will certify hours under any pharmacist
so any hours in virginia can be transfered into alabama...


from my understanding before you sit for the boards you need to have all of your hours sent to the state you want to take the test in.
