Different states' requirements for licensure as a pharmacist?

Question

Hi. I want to study pharmacy in Pennsylvania, but wish to practice later on in New York. If I take the NAPLEX and MPJE, will I still be able to practice pharmacy in New York? What are the requirements from state to state? (A website would be helpful). Thank you.

Answer 1

The NAPLEX is the same nationally. Each state has its own MPJE. There are slightly different requirements in different states. For instance, New York requires compounding for licensure.
