Currently, anyone wishing to obtain a license to practice pharmacy in the United States must take a state-specific test called the Multistate Jurisprudence Exam (MPJE). This exam is a combination of Federal pharmacy law and state-specific laws. While some states have their laws, rules, and regulations in an easy to access area, there is no centralized area for all the content on the MPJE exam in Alabama. Furthermore, student pharmacists are typically only taught state-specific laws, rules, and regulations for the state in which their school resides. If a person graduates from a school in a different state, they must compile all the information for the MPJE themselves, which can be cumbersome and time consuming. This book seeks to bridge this gap by including all the information needed to prepare for the MPJE for the state of Alabama, authored by pharmacists who are actively practicing and teaching within the state.
This book will serve as a reference text for student pharmacists in the state of Alabama and used as part of their curriculum at Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy (AUHCOP). However, this book is also available to those outside of the AUHCOP; this includes student pharmacists at Alabama’s other pharmacy program, Samford University’s McWhorter School of Pharmacy, and pharmacists reciprocating their pharmacy license to Alabama. It will serve as a reference and study tool for non-AUHCOP student pharmacists within Alabama as well as people out-of-state who wish to obtain an Alabama license.
