A person who is currently registered to practice as a pharmacist in another state that reciprocates with Wisconsin and who has graduated from a board approved school, college or department of pharmacy, may file an application for licensure by reciprocity. Please contact the Department for the appropriate form.
Stages in Determination Process:
1. Complete the preliminary
application form and forward to NABP.
2. Complete Eligibility for Transfer of Pharmaceutical Licensure Based on Active Practice of Pharmacy form to determine whether any state board exams can be waived.
3. Complete the state application form that you receive from the NABP.
4. Return completed application form with fee to the Department. Application, fee, and all credentials must be on file not later than 45 days prior to the date of the examination.
5. Members of the board will review
your completed active practice of pharmacy form to determine
what examinations will be required. An applicant who is not
engaged in the active practice of pharmacy shall take the MPJE
examination and the patient consultation examination. The
patient consultation examination is offered during the months
of January, March, June, July, August and October. An
applicant who is engaged in the active practice of pharmacy
shall take the MPJE examination only.
People Trained Outside the United States:
Graduates of schools of pharmacy whose professional degree programs are not accredited by the American Council of Pharmacy Education (ACPE) may pursue licensure as a pharmacist in Wisconsin by a pathway which includes certification by the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) and successful completion of 1500 hours of internship.
