Laws in all states, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, require applicants for licensure to: 1) be of good moral character; 2) be 21 years of age; 3) have graduated from an ACPE-accredited first professional degree program of a University or school of pharmacy; and 4) have passed an examination given by the board of pharmacy. All states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands use the North American Pharmacy Licensure Examination (NAPLEX). All jurisdictions require candidates for licensure to have a record of practical experience or internship training acquired under the supervision and instruction of a licensed practitioner. Some states, including Maryland, accept the training completed during a formal academic program. Publications concerning the NAPLEX licensure examination and internship experience are available from NABP (https://nabp.pharmacy/). For further information regarding licensure, please contact the Maryland Board of Pharmacy (https://health.maryland.gov/pharmacy/Pages/index.aspx).
