It is not easy to move from the Philippines to the US and work as a pharmacist. There are a lot of obstacles to hurdle, and in some states such as New York you need to be at least a green card holder to become a licensed pharmacist. Meaning you need to work at other jobs in the US with a company sponsoring you until you get your permanent residence (which is anywhere from 5-8 years)
To meet the professional education requirements for licensure as a pharmacist, you must have:
- Completed a program in pharmacy leading to a bachelor's degree or higher from a pharmacy program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) http://www.acpe-accredit.org/deans/schools.asp .
Here is their page for pharmacy accreditation http://www.acpe-accredit.org/pharmacists/default.asp
- You must have Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) certification by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP).
For information regarding FPGEC certification, contact:
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP)
1600 Feehanville Drive
Mt Prospect, IL 60056
Phone: 847-391-4406

- You must pass all three parts of the pharmacist licensing exam series within 5 years:
Part I: North American Pharmacist Licensing Exam (NAPLEX)
Part II: Multi-State Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE)
Part III: Written and Practical (Compounding)

In the U.S., to even begin the process, your degree must be considered equivalent to the U.S. PharmD degree. No bachelors of pharmacy will be considered equivalent. You will have to take a very tough licensing exam.
