All rights reserved.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nImmigrating to the United States is an opportunity to use your international training to either advance in your field or pursue a new career that builds on your education and experience. Because pharmacy involves obtaining a license—a process that can be costly and time-consuming—it is especially important to fully consider your options.  \nCareer Pathways in Pharmacy | © 2019 World Education Services. All rights reserved.  \nThe Pathways Guide at a Glance  \nIf you have completed your education in another country and are now starting your career in the United States, you will need to understand to what extent you meet the academic requirements of your chosen career.  \n• The Gaining Recognition for Your International Education section (p. 9) will explain how to determine the U. S. equivalency of your foreign degree to help you explore career pathways in pharmacy and other fields.  \n• The Educational Pathways in the Field of Pharmacy section (p. 11) provides examples of careers in pharmacy that may match your qualifications.  \n• If you want to continue your pharmacy career in the United States, you must obtain a U. S. license to practice. See the Licensing and Certification Requirements in Pharmacy section (p. 20) .  \n• Not all internationally trained pharmacists decide to pursue a pharmacy license in the United States, either because of the time and expense involved, or because they want to pursue a different career. See the Transferable Skills and Using Them in Related or Alternative Careers section (p. 25) .  \nLet’s get started!  \nStrategies for Success  \nAsk Lots of Questions  \nWhile you may have a strong idea of what your career will be in the United States based on the professional experience you already have, establishing yourself in a new country is a chance to reach new goals and possibilities. Analyzing your career options in the U. S. can be challenging, but by remaining flexible you can use the education and experience you already have to take steps to succeed in the U. S.  \nAs you research your options, ask yourself:  \n• What are my short term and long term employment goals","cbCaimNanZjP2YPa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimNanZjP2YPa","pdf",682855,41,"English","# Introduction\n## Your Career Pathway in the United States\n## The Pharmacy Profession in the United States\n## Gaining Recognition for Your International Education\n## Educational Pathways in the Field of Pharmacy\n## Licensing and Certification Requirements in Pharmacy\n## Transferable Skills and Using Them in Related or Alternative Careers\n## SMART Goal Worksheet\n## Additional Resources in the Field of Pharmacy\n## Index of References","[{\"question\":\"Why is it important to consider options before pursuing a pharmacy license in the U.S.?\",\"answer\":\"Pharmacy requires obtaining a license, which can be costly and time-consuming.
