All state boards of pharmacy require that, in addition to a degree in pharmacy, specified hours of supervised working experience are necessary to become a licensed pharmacist.
Regulations vary among the states.
Applicants who reside in states other than Georgia should consult their board of pharmacy for instructions. In Georgia, you may register with the State Board as a pharmacy intern after enrollment in the School of Pharmacy. You must apply for and receive an internship license. Georgia interns are required to work a minimum of 20 hours per week in order to receive credit. The State Board of Pharmacy will not grant credit for hours worked while you are enrolled in pharmacy school and the University is in session.
