When to Register as an Intern

Submit an application to register as a Delaware Pharmacist Intern if you:

• graduated from a school or college of pharmacy outside the U.S., and
• have already passed an equivalence exam recognized by the Board, such as the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee Certification (FPGEC), and
• wish to work in a Delaware Pharmacy to attain required hours of pre-licensure experience.

If you graduated from a U.S. school or college of pharmacy, submit the Registration of Internship-U.S. School application in DELPROS instead.

Internship Program

To be licensed as a Pharmacist in Delaware, you must provide proof that you have completed 1,500 hours of pre-licensure experience. The 1,500 hours may include a combination of the following:

• Internship hours transferred from another jurisdiction(s) where you worked under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist preceptor.
• Internship hours you work in a Delaware pharmacy under supervision of a Delaware-licensed pharmacist preceptor.

To work as an Intern in a Delaware pharmacy, you must select a Delaware-licensed Pharmacist as your preceptor.

• The preceptor must agree to provide you with the experience outlined in the Board’s Practical Experience Program.
• When you complete your internship hours or end your relationship with a preceptor, the preceptor must submit the completed Affidavit of Intern Experience form.
• If your preceptor changes, you must submit a new Affidavit of Preceptor form within ten calendar days of the change.

For information on the internship program, read the Practical Experience Program for Pharmacy Preceptors and Interns.
