jeron1: oga most medical course Mbbs,Pharmacy,Nursing etc all of them that has to do with license before practising in USA and evry other developed country u MUST write the exam which most times it can take 2yrs they prefer ppl that studied in their country with that license. Neither ur g.f move to USA for another studies or through another means of visa processing then get to write the exams. |

jeron1:Yeah there are some cases whereby a company files for you and when you get there, you take the exam but I dont know much about that though. Some people I know came on a non-immigrant visa (Tourist/Business B1/B2 visa) to take the NCLEX-RN exam |

debris:You mean you have a bsc in pharmacology already but you want go for another one in pharmD? Why do you want go for a bsc again in pharmD when you hve a good course already. pharmacology is also a health course, forget that they earn less than people with pharmD, a pharmacology degree offers prospects for research careers in academia, industry, the scientific civil service and hospitals. As for health course that pays well. Almost all the health courses pays well, I cnt tell you the one to go for, Do the research for yourself Pharmacologst are medical scientists who research develop and test medications. And we all know pharmacists fill prescriptions, monitor medical therapies andadvise patients on how to take medications, just a lil diff, you dont need to start all over again going for pharmD 2 Likes |

princey83: Good day Sir!! I'd like to make some few enquiries about Pharmacy practise in Canada. I'm actually a Pharmacy student in Nigeria and wanna make long-term plans for posts graduation because Nigeria is dying day by day. What is pay as a pharmacist in Canada like? Especially as an immigrant. How is the process of getting practise permit? Difficult? And how is Canada as a country. I anticipate your unbiased answer|reply. Thank you. 1 Like |

lolawilliams: Hello!! I'm a Pharmacy student and my CGPA is about 2.1. I have interests to study either in USA or Canada but have come across some issues and they have eventually confused me. Back here in Nigeria graduates are issued with the BPHARM degree. That is Bachelor of Pharmacy against the Pharm.D(Doctor of Pharmacy) issued in the US. I read that foreign pharmacists with my BPharm degree can't practise in the USA but if I decide to obtain an MSc say in Pharmacognosy, it still doesn't equate to Pharm.D I think that is why I lean closer to Canada because they still accept either BPharm or Pharm D. Pray, can I still practise in the US? #Confused Pharmacy student. |

Vessi:Its not easy to become a pharmacist in usa or canada with a Bpharm degree from nigeria.. Are you sure canada accept the BPharm degree?? I doubt it. PharmD degree are owned by genius. You'll have to get the Bpharm then, msc in pharmacy, phd in pharmacy before you get the BPharm.. Just a BPharm degree wont ginger them enough to accept student, atleast a msc might. I know what some international student face, some get through, some dont. If you had started the bsc programme in usa or canada, it wld hve been easier to proceed, but with a BPharm here, I dont think even the canada you mentioned will or do you know anyone who did it smoothly? I also heard international students must spend 5yrs for their bsc programme before they'll accept them for msc, but you can check out this top pharmacy universities and talk to their international studnt advisor maybe they can assist you University of Minnesota - Twin University of North Carolina University of Tennessee University of Oklahoma University of Utah |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by Nobody: 9:08pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
lolawilliams: Well, I guess I have to obtain my MSc too here in Nigeria before proceeding to work in the US. How about that? Thank you very much for your assistance. |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by lolawilliams(f): 9:29pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
debris: wait, I dont get you well, you have a pharmacology degree and you want to go for post graduate degree in the states, and you want to switch to a health field so you can start working over there right? |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by Nobody: 9:34pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
Vessi:Pay for pharmacist vary across provinces, industries (hospital or community), employer and also based upon length of practice or job position in the country. I don't want to be throwing figures in the air. You can check glass door. For an unbiased reply: Yes the process is very difficult. Nothing good comes easy. let me give you an idea of how difficult it is. Highly experienced foreign trained pharmacist at oga level in Nigerian hospitals, people with PhDs, distinctions e.t.c from other developed countries do fail the exams, but some with ordinary bpharm degree with little experience still manage to pass the exams. No one really knows the marking scheme or pass rate but rumour says it's around 25%. The pass marks varies and it's not fixed, meaning if a high percentage of student score good marks, they would raise the cutt off mark. So to pass the exams, people aim for 100% in the exams. it requires lots of determination. But that shouldn't be a problem for a young chap like you. 1 Like |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by lolawilliams(f): 9:38pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
Vessi:Yes, but remember that the MSc wont make you become a pharmacist, but you can get into industry jobs with it |

lolawilliams: Jeeez. My certificate is totally useless in US ![]() So uh, to practise pharmacy I need to..... (H What direction do I take) ![]() |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by Nobody: 9:49pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
princey83: Thank you very much for your effort in clearing the air in my head. I have gotten mixed reports on the Pharmacy certificate that will land a Pharmacy license in Canada. Now, I wish to read it directly from a Canada resident. Sir, I would like to discover if a Nigerian BPharm degree holder can practise professional Pharmacy in Canada? Or is the industry exclusively reserved for holders of the Pharm.D degree? Thank you very much. |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by lolawilliams(f): 9:52pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
Vessi:Even a phD here wont make you a pharmacist there. A pharmD degree is worth it tho but it takes time, money and effort. |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by Nobody: 9:55pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
lolawilliams: Man!!! I give up on practising Pharmacy in the States. ![]() |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by lolawilliams(f): 10:02pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
Vessi:Lol. You can give canada a try, wait and see what the man in canada has to say. |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by Nobody: 10:11pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
lolawilliams: Lol thank you very much. You have been very much helpful in a pleasant way. Although I must be disappointed if a bad news comes from the Canada resident but it's not yet game over as I can still work in Nigeria, the only issue is Nigerian economy is getting messier day by day so the ambitious ones have to find a way out of the dark cave. 2 Likes |

What are the job prospects of a Nigerian doctor with a masters in public health degree in an American University? Thanks |
Re: Some Courses To Study In Nigeria Before Coming Over To America by SlowlybtSurely: 9:46am On Jun 12, 2016 |
mrchemist: She will not be able to practice in the States even if she has a PhD in optometry. She will have to sit the very difficult licensure exams after going through a highly competitive and expensive bridging program in the University of New England. |
