My very first step ... Daunting!
Hi Everyone,
I have a few "first-timer" questions...  1. What does CPR stand for? 2. How long does it take for you to get approval to take the FPGEE? 3. What sort of books or courses do i need to invest my time & money in? 4. Which state has the shortest internship programme? Thank you |

I remember that I posted the same question about cpr.. It stands for "Comprehensive Pharmacy Review" by Leon Shargel et al. You can buy it at amazon. Amazon.com: Comprehensive Pharmacy Review: Books: Leon Shargel,Alan H Mutnick,Paul F Souney,Larry N Swanson I think it took a couple of month to get the approval, and it could take more or less than that. For books that people use you can check the thread http://www.urch.com/forums/fpgee/735...st-takers.html (Let's post the study material that we used for the next test takers) Different people used different books, but there are common ones so it may help you. I just know internship hours are around 1000 hrs. I just think that doing an intern will help us to adjust in US system so I don't think it will be a waste of time.. Hope it helps and good luck to you! |

Hi Coolpharm,
Thanks for you very thougtful and helpful reply.  I have enrolled to take the Toefl iBT exam at a centre in bournemouth. At least that gets the process started whilst I await approval to sit the exam. I'm going to check those links know... What are you doing now? i mean are you working as a pharmacist in the states now? and if so ...how cool is that?... |

Hello,
No, I just passed the fpgee last June so I'm just one step ahead of you. I'll need to take toefl, do intern, etc. I work full time now and I havn't yet totally decided to quit my current job so I'll just try to get the intern license and then think about it. |

Great!
Are you in the UK? or where do you plan to take your ToefL? You know there is an internet-based Toefl called Toefl iBT... this supercedes Toefl + TSE... Anyway you've scaled the highest fence so far. Well done and all the Best.  |
