Here Pharmacy

Do pharmacists have to take a test in order to move to another state in the US?

Like lawyers have to take the bar of the state they want to move to, unless they got their J.D in that state. Does that work with pharmacists too? Or can pharmacists use their degree to work in any state in the US? And is that test hard?

1. They sure do. Just like doctors
2. Generally a pharmacist who is already licensed in one state would have to take the law test of another state to get licensed there. Some states require a lab test and if that was the case they would have to take that also.
3. yes, at least one (jurisprudence). Depending on the state, they might need to take a 'board' exam also.
