Hi JYN & Cicago 773,
I will really appreciate if anyone one of you can answer my question.I have completed my 1200 hours of internship in hospital set up in Illinois during a period of Sep 2010-July 2011. I did a volunteer internship thats why I can't provide any of the pay checks in the support of my document.I have maintained a time sheet log thoughout my internship but another concern is that it is random ,as I took vactions for several times in the mean time.It consist of random breaks however the most part is comprised of 40 hours a week though...Can u please advice me in this regard that what documents should I send along with letter from my preceptor so that it get approved by the board with no hassle..

Thanks
Aidam

i would suggest you to submit the hours in a letter to IL Board...they will let you know whatever additional documents they need.

Hi Aidam - if the Illinois State Board approved your internship, then yes they will accept your hours with vacation gaps and even if its volunteer. The main point is that they have to FIRST APPROVE your internship before you start your hours. You can still try to submit your hours and documents and maybe they will let you continue. I am not sure.

Are you being sarcastic? lol. I do not know Carl Scott personally, but have contacted her because she is the board liason. So - I suppose that is GREAT!

I highly recommend PASS NAPLEX NOW. Thanks to JYN. =)

Hello all,

I have finished my FPGEE exam last year. I havent take the TOEFL exam yet. I've read in several posts here that in Illinois i can start doing my Internship without finishing TOEFL. Is that true. I emailed the board their reply is not very clear. They mentioned that i need to have FPGEC and 1200 Internship etc to sit for NAPLEX etc. I understand that Illinois doesnt have any pharmacy internship license and i need to get Pharmacy Technician license. I also need to get some kind of approval from the board to allow me to start my internship.

Can someone guide me to site that has this application to get approval for Internship. Anyone here started doing internship before taking TOEFL exam.

Thanks

Sorry, but you can't Illinois required to have FPGEC before starting internship.That means you need to pass TOEFL first.
Good luck, duna
