B.Pharm + M.Pharm enough for FPGEE?

[smartbot]

Does a B.Pharm (4 year program) combined with an M.Pharm (2 year program) from India qualify you for the FPGEE? I know they require a 5 year degree, so would the B.Pharm + M.Pharm (6 years total) meet this requirement?

No.
A master degree does not count toward pharmaceutical education.

No Dear ...they need a five year program which is almost similar to Pharm D here. But still you can give a try submitting thy credentials to ECE

Did you graduate before or after 2003? Because I heard that if you graduate after 2003 the rules are a little different. Also, did you study in India?

Hello,

The only thing that matters is the amount of time you spent to study for pharmacy, and it should be at least five years. Below five years (even 4 and half) is not acceptable. Don't waste your time asking around from people, just send your credentials to the ECE and they evaluate it for you.

I know someone who's degree is evaluated as "Bachelor of Pharmacy" in the USA. But since his courses was 7 years long in his own country and originally hold a pharm.D., he was illegible to sit for FPGEE.
