Your desire of pursuing higher studies rather than going for jobs is really appreciable. Pharmacy is an evergreen field which has ample opportunities especially in the field of research. However, you need to keep in mind that pursuing post graduation programme abroad is not easy especially in USA.

First of all, in order to pursue PharmaD from USA, you need to become a registered pharmacist in USA. To become a registered pharmacist, you need to qualify in two exams - FPGEE (Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination) followed by the NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination).

You need to keep in mind that to become eligible for the FBGEE examination, you need to have undertaken five years of Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy otherwise you need to pursue your post graduation from India and then go for MS in USA.

Pursuing PharmaD course will make you a registered pharmacist in USA. However, if you are planning to go for only MS, then you need to give GRE and TOEFL exams and on the basis of scores in these exams,you will get the concerned university.
