Hello,

I am a pharmacist graduated in 2001 from India. After my B.Pharm I did master's and PhD in organic/medicinal chemistry from a Swedish university. I also published around 6 scientific articles in international journals. Currently I am working as a research associate (postdoc) in a university in the UK. This not a permanent job and currently there are not many job opportunities for chemists in industry.

So I am seriously thinking about going back to my undergraduate roots.
Basically since I am in the UK, I am planning to apply to RPSGB and do the OSPAP program.
I am also thinking about FPGEC in the USA. Can anyone tell me which one of them is easier and better paid?
Since I already have a UK work-permit, I thought maybe it will be easier for me to do all the paper work for RPSGB even though I have to study at uni for 9 months.

Does anyone know if RPSGB will create trouble for me since I have graduated in B.pharm 2001 and I have'nt practiced pharmacy for a long timw?
