Felicity12 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Hello! I am a Canadian pharmacist, moved recently to the bay area and I am looking to start my internship hours. Any suggestions with this regard may help. I am using online career search engines like indeed and many others, and so far I applied to a lot of pharmacies. The way I've been doing that is searching for technician positions because so far there has been no intern positions posted. I welcome your feedback and discussions folks...

Gloridae Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Hi Felicity, were you able to get a California intern license? in case you did how? as I am also Canadian and have applied for the intern license since January. However, now I am in the middle of unending correspondence with the Pharmacy board. I am done with the fingerprints and everything, but cannot get an SSN. I am just confused as they keep on sending me the same response that SS number is mandatory. I got a license in Washington without SSN they just asked me to fill a deficiency letter. Anyways I would appreciate any information you can help me with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felicity12 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hello, Just like to share some updates about my journey as intern pharmacist in Cali. I am currently volunteering my internship hours...I am still looking for paid intern positions in the bay area. Be careful interns, I checked with the board and hours will be accredited only if done under the title of intern (and not tech). They also said that a minimum of 100 hours of institutional pharmacy practice will be sufficient, but they do not have that posted anywhere on the board website. It has been awful trying to reach a live person when calling the board, let alone finding someone who has the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
