Since there is not a shortage of pharmacists, many fear that licensing foreign pharmacy graduates will create an oversupply. Boards of pharmacy are concerned with licensing qualified candidates. Until 1978, Illinois issued the national pharmacy licensure exam to foreign and U.S. graduates. The foreign graduates' scores were consistently lower. A prelicensure exam is needed to evaluate the foreign student's academic background. Foreign students could matriculate into an accredited college of pharmacy for remediation in the necessary areas.
由于药剂师并不短缺，许多人担心给外国药学专业毕业生发放执照会造成供应过剩。药学委员会关注的是给合格的候选人发放执照。直到1978年，伊利诺伊州都为外国和美国的毕业生发放国家药学执照考试。外国毕业生的成绩一直较低。需要一项执照前考试来评估外国学生的学术背景。外国学生可以进入一所经认可的药学院，在必要领域进行补习。
