The Egyptian 4 year BS pharmacy degree is not an acceptable degree in the U.S. You'll have to get a U.S. PharmD or a foreign MS Pharm. If you have a foreign acceptable degree, you'll first have to take the TOEFL and FPGEE and pass them. If you pass, than you have to do intern hours. Once you've taken the desired number of hours, than you can take the NAPLEX and MPJE. Pass those, and you can become licensed.
If you get an American degree, than you just have to take the NAPLEX and MPJE. Some states do require extra intern hours.

Pharmacists need to know drug interactions very well. If there are any drug reactions that could've been prevented within a patient, the pharmacist is held liable just like any doctor or nurse would be for malpractice.
