Everything he knows, he learned in French. We live in OH. I know he needs to be state certified, but is there some type of course he can take to learn everything in english without having to go through 4 years of college again? He knows the medicines, but needs to learn the side effects and what not, in english.

The issue will be what degree and when. Anyone graduating after 2003 must have more than a 4 year program. He'll need his transcripts from France. If he is declared to have equivalent pharmacy education, he can then take TOEFL for English proficiency and FPGEE, the foreign pharmacist graduate equivalency exam. If he passes both, then he can work as a pharmacy intern. He'll have to get so many of experience. After doing that, he will then take NAPLEX and MSJE. Passes those two exams, congratulations, you are a fully licensed pharmacist.
There are a couple of programs through NOVA and University of Florida aimed at foreign pharmacists, but regardless, he'll still have to pas the NAPLEX and MSJE.
Good references are Drug Information Handbook, Pharmacotheray by DiPiro, Applied Therapeutics by Koda-Kimble, USP-DI. Martindale actually lists both French and American drug names. The drug names are completely different here. To pass those licensing exams, it's more than knowing side effects. It's knowing when to use what drug. Also, you have to do well on pharmaceutical calculations
