I wish that the organization would provide several benefits for the members.
During FPGEE preparation
Assign the volunteer to help member who had difficulty experience to study FPGEE
(In my country, new students will be matched with the assigned seniors. The seniors provide a guide and share experiences including campus life and academic issues.)
During FPGEE test
Organize or set up transportation and lodging for the member in order to minimize the expenses (If there are many members taking the test, the organization could make negotiation with the hotels, arranging to share the room, or arranging the transportation to the test center)
During TOEFL ibt test
Assign the volunteer to be the tutor or help for the registration or test
Arrange the practicing partners
Voice any concerns to ETS or NABP
Applying for Internship or Visa
Assign the volunteer to share experience or help for these processes.
Arriving and Doing intern
Volunteer will help the new comers to get start the new life style in the US.
Taking NAPLEX & MJPE
Volunteers share experiences of taking NAPLEX and MJPE.
Registered Pharmacists
Share any resources or build the net work for job application (the good one)
Share any good or concerned experiences that would be benefit for each other for practicing pharmacist
I believe someone else also has other ideas what member should benefits form this organization. Helping each other will not only benefit to the pharmacist member but also the patients. Member can learn the good experiences from other in order to be the good pharmacists. Finally, the patients will benefit from all of these activities.
When I am writing this message, I cannot stop thinking of many elderly patients who I meet every day. I wish this organization will help the qualified international pharmacists to become the good pharmacists. The good international pharmacists will fill many vacancy jobs and provide the good quality service to the patients.
