This is just temporary. We are putting in our main web site later tonight. We are moving to a new server.

Thank you for your patience.

Bye.

Thanks, tsetaker for the link to slides of pharmacist shortage.

We can forward the URL to state boards of pharmacy, chain drugstores, hospital, NABP, local and foreign media.

I hope that we all utilize these slides. I spent days and nights to collect information and make the slides.

Shortage of Pharmacists-Untapped Resource.pdf

Please make our voices heard.

Best wishes,

I am thinking that we should have a meeting soon, probably start at a major city such as NY, CA, TX, Washington DC or Chicago where a majority of members are.

Who is in Chicago? Could you please go to NABP office to discuss the issue in person? Moreover, I encourage you all to go to talk to your state board in person and bring these documents with you. NABP is a representative of all 50 states. If each one of us makes our voice heard by going in person to talk to the state board of pharmacy and the governor, it will help speed up the data or information transmission. Don't be afraid of the office of the governor. There are staff members of the governor who control the work of the state board.
Let me know your opinions. Thanks.
Hello Knock,
Thank you for your struggle. I took TOEFL twice, and I understand how is challenge to pass. My friend took TOEFL to continue study in UC Berkeley, CA (one of prestigious Universities),requirement was score 67, for dental school requirement 96. I did't see other place, where requirement so detailed.
Another point.For better success I think it will be benefitial to ask for support us American Pharmacy Association. This is a strong trade that regulates salary and benefits. Shortness of Pharmacists is 7.2% over US, the second place after nurses (8.4%).

Hello guys!

First, I would like to thank you, especially "Knock", for the hard efforts you are doing to remove this injustice we face.

Second, I have a point that we could discuss with NAPB if we will get the chance to talk with them in the future. My point is I think that TOEFL is not a real measurement for our abililty to deal with patients in pharmacies. TOEFL in fact is done for those who are hoping to continue their study in USA. So that, we find the test full of academic lectures and conversation that could happen within a campus..etc. It is not fair to judge our ability to communicate with customers with this unreasonable test. Instead, we should suggest that NAPB look for an alternative test that tests the ability to speak the english of the real life, not the english that concerns with the acadmic and universities life.

Good luck!

As a matter of fact, we are customers of NABP. We pay $700 for the certificate program. We all are professionals. NABP officials are very nice and polite. However, we need to act professinally as well.

We contact NABP from time to time in several ways. Every party contacted NABP for us. We won't post it here. Some information should not be disclosed in public.

NABP is listening. Believe me!

We all have the same occupation, pharmacists. There is no reason that NABP will not listen.

If we don't do anything but expect things to change, forget it. I am not a big believer in magic. We need action and conversation about causes and effects.

Please think strategically if you want to survive. Nurses organized their group and talked to the board. Doctor board eliminated TOEFL completely.

I consider our profession not inferior to nurses and doctors. We just need spirit and helping hands.

In the end, let me say this again.

We need your cooperation.
