ABSTRACT
Since there is not a shortage of pharmacists, many fear that licensing foreign pharmacy graduates will create an oversupply. Boards of pharmacy are concerned with licensing qualified candidates. Until 1978, Illinois issued the national pharmacy licensure exam to foreign and U.S. graduates. The foreign graduates' scores were consistently lower. A prelicensure exam is needed to evaluate the foreign student's academic background. Foreign students could matriculate into an accredited college of pharmacy for remediation in the necessary areas.
