Refresher Courses
Through its Morris Cody

preparations for pharmacy licensure examinations. Since 1971, Morris
Cody & Associates (MCA) have worked with thousands of
pharmacists to prepare for their pharmacy licensure examinations.
Presently, MCA operates three schools in California. MCA conducts
live Review Courses prior to the Pharmacy License Exams in Illinois,
Florida, California, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Kansas and
Pennsylvania. Finally, MCA’s home-study programs are utilized by
candidates who are preparing for licensure exams in all states, and
also by pharmacists who have been educated in foreign pharmacy
colleges, and are preparing for US licensure exams. The materials
concentrate on both clinical, pharmacy practice and jurisprudence
topics. MCA is licensed by the California Department of Education as
an educational institution.
