Para el farmacéutico graduado en exterior, que significa cumplir con el requisito de: Internado o residency, eso puede variar por estado aquí te damos lo básico.
For a pharmacist who graduated abroad and wishes to practice in the United States (U.S.), completing an internship or residency program is a crucial step in the process of obtaining licensure. The requirement you mentioned refers to the need for foreign-trained pharmacists to gain hands-on experience and training in U.S. pharmacy practice settings.
Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
Internship/Residency Program:
Internship: This typically refers to a structured period of practical training that provides real-world experience in pharmacy practice. It is often a requirement for licensure in many states.
Residency: A residency is a more advanced and specialized form of postgraduate training. It involves a more focused and in-depth experience in a specific area of pharmacy practice, such as internal medicine, pediatrics, or ambulatory care.
Experiential Learning:
This involves hands-on, practical learning in a pharmacy setting. It allows the pharmacist to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world situations, develop clinical skills, and gain exposure to the complexities of pharmacy practice in the U.S.
Required Hours:
The number of hours required for internship or residency can vary by state, as each state has its own licensing requirements. It’s essential for the pharmacist to check the specific requirements of the state where they plan to practice.
State Licensing Requirements:
To become a licensed pharmacist in the U.S., individuals must meet the specific requirements of the state in which they intend to practice. These requirements may include completing the necessary educational and training programs, passing exams (such as the NAPLEX and MPJE), and fulfilling the internship or residency requirements.
Purpose:
The purpose of these requirements is to ensure that pharmacists have the knowledge, skills, and practical experience necessary to provide safe and effective patient care in the U.S. healthcare system. It helps bridge any gaps between the education received abroad and the expectations of U.S. pharmacy practice.
Foreign-trained pharmacists often go through a process of credential evaluation and may need to complete additional coursework or training to meet U.S. standards. The internship or residency is a vital component of this process, allowing them to gain exposure to the U.S. healthcare system and demonstrate their competency in a U.S. pharmacy setting.
