Hi John,

As much i know u r not eligible to write FPGEE even if u do masters in U.S unless u have 5 years pharmacy in thy graduation after january 2003.

I think it should be 5 years of Undergraduate Pharmacy schooling. This would mean Masterals are not included as this is Post Graduate studies. I suggest you call NABP to make sure because you'll never know if we are indeed correct with current information or requirements. Good Luck

Kindly tell me whether master's degree in Pharamacy will make me eligible to write FPGEE, if I graduate after 2003

H1b visa is nothing to do with US license. People came to US before appearing for FPGEE on H1b visa. _ _ _ _ SIG _ _ _ _
H1 B has a lot of to do with US license ( at least for pharmacists). H1B is Visa for skillful specialists, so before you apply for H1B it's better to have an intern license. At least from my experience.....I never planed to go to the area where I am now, I wanted a different state but I didn't have intern license in this state so, they even didn't consider me as a candidate without a license. However, when I mentioned that I have a license from another state I was admitted right away.
