U.S. Return Pathway Evidence

A four-year UK MPharm does not meet NABP's stated post-2003 five-year minimum for pharmacy programs on duration alone, so this degree does not by itself support the FPGEC route to U.S. registration. Confirm your position with NABP and the state board you intend to register with before relying on it.

Canada Return Pathway Evidence

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