4 years Foreign Graduate !

[coolfaizu]

Hi......as you know that those forieng Graduates who have done there graduation after 2003 have to do 5 years graduation......Unfortunately i have done 4 years graduation in 2007 from Pakistan......Can anyone tell me what is the best action for me to do for being eligible for FPGEE?

If u do masters degree which is more clinical oriented then that might help.

I dont think you are eligible to write FPGEE exam unless you do 5 years bachelors related to pharmacy in pakistan or PharmD in usa. If you have pharm d in pakistan ( 5 + years) , better u do that course if you wanted to write FPGEE . Is it worth ? since 110 pharmacy schools are set to be open across the USA

I think you should better complete 1 year condensed course if being offered by your university in Pakistan instead of doing PharmD in USA. That will save your time and money.

Hey if someone has done 4 Year Pharmacy Degree in Year 2004 and then done one year Pharm.D condensed/deficiency course to upgrade 4 Years Pharmacy Degree into 5 Years Pharm.D degree from same university in Year 2008. And University issued 5 Year Pharm.D degree by conceding previous 4 Year Pharmacy Degree in 2008 .Would he be able to sit for FPGEE exams. As Universities in Pakistan are offering One Year Condensed Pharm.D course for all old graduate who have 4 Years B.Pharm degree issued after 2003 .After successfully passing this course all Universities in Pakistan are offering fresh 5 Years Pharm.D degree by conceding old 4 Years B.Pharm Degree. Are such candidates able to write to sit for FPGEE or not.

This is a big question and remains to be answered yet as far i know. Nobody from Pakistan has got the Pharm D condensed course degree so for (i am from PU) and once we get the degree and it undergoes evaluation then mystery will be solved. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Nice to see you tqm
Yes i got my transcript but i am still waiting for my degree just like others.
I am skeptical if they don't need official proof of degree based on degree.
I don't know about nirma graduates but i work with a lot of foreign graduate pharmacists and they all have either 5 year degree or graduated before 2003 with 4 year bachelors.
I am from NJ and i have sent you a PM.
