AboutDr. Tara Kompare, Pharm.D. Expertise I can answer a broad range of questions related to community pharmacy practice. My particular
interests include childrens` health and safe medication use for seniors. As the mother of two small children, I am quite knowledgable on many parenting issues from how to handle
a baby with colic to how to get kids to take their medicine. With regards to medication use in seniors, I can answer questions about adverse effects, drugs to generally avoid
in that population, and disease management issues.

Question Hi,
I recently asked you a question concering pharmacy and I found your reply very helpful,so I have another question to ask.I'm thinking of studying in either Illinois or Amman,Jordan(yes the middleeast.I was wondering,if I study pharmacy in Jordan will I be accepted to work in the U.S. or not?Or do I have to study in the U.S. to be able to work there?If you have any idea about that please help me.Thank you.
Answer Hi Mae,
I am glad I was able to help you!
Your question is a very good one. You will need to contact your local state board of pharmacy concerning transferring an out of the country pharmacy degree.Most states have a website that you can go to and e-mail your question.
