MPJE/UMPJE
As a key part of the licensure process, the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination® (MPJE®) and Uniform MPJE™ (UMPJE™) are designed to assess your knowledge of laws and regulations. The MPJE is a state-specific exam, whereas the UMPJE is a universal jurisprudence exam for participating jurisdictions. Both exams ensure competency in state and federal pharmacy law and provide streamlined pathways to license portability. The MPJE and UMPJE are taken by recent college of pharmacy graduates, licensed pharmacists who want to practice in other jurisdictions, and pharmacists who are FPGEC certified.
