U.S. Return Pathway Evidence

Four-year UK MPharm does not meet NABP's stated post-2003 five-year pharmacy-program minimum on duration alone; do not market it as FPGEC-compatible.

Canada Return Pathway Evidence

UK professional MPharm; PEBC says eligible UK graduates may qualify for the streamlined pathway after Document Evaluation.
