I saw it too. It is in upcoming events. I hope we will hear good news by the end of October.

Thanks for your information. Good jobs.

We should collect all complaints and send them to NABP. I am continuing working on collecting information. You can send to IPHARM-US address or email to Ipharm-us email address too. Make sure that you receive the acknowledgement letter from IPHARM-US.

Any complaints that are communicated with ETS by mail, phone, or in this web site should be copy and send it to NABP and Ipharm-us.

We need to keep track with all the complaints ourselves to make sure that the number of complaints are huge. Please send them to IPHARM-US. As you know, ETS ignored most of the complaints when we sent by email. Then, we will send all the copies together to verify that the complaints are true. We don't make that up.

Thanks again.

Please read this newsletter carefully.

Public starts to focus on medication errors. This time, a Hollywood Star starts a foundation for stopping medication errors. What can you do?

Anyone who lives near Pasadena, CA, or lives in a driving distance, please contact me or Yashak. You can help. Thanks.

Hi,

Its a very good news, I would like to thank you all for your efforts.But, I am concerned about getting internship once nabp made their decision.I know we are not able to find one with 26 in speaking.
Pls flash some light on this issue. Let's everyone hopes for the best.

Thank you...

Folks,

Actually, NABP told us that they would work on this issue immediately, not the end of the year. They have been probably working on it since the meeting in May. The longer we wait, the pain we get from TOEFL iBT Speaking.

I wish that NABP would offer its own communication skills as doctors do.That is the best option for all pharmacists. Or if they accept a total score of TOEFL iBT since it is an integrated test, that would make it more reasonable for score requirement. A score of requirement of 26 on speaking is unreasonable. Only 11 out 100 candidates can receive a score of 26 on speaking. This seems to discourage future foreign pharmacists to enter the FPGEE program. At this statistics, only about half of FPGEE candidates who passed FPGEE can receive the FPGEC certificate. Please check my calculation a while ago. I posted somewhere. I cannot find it.

Where are you guys located? If you are in LA, CA, please let me know. I need your help as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Hi Guys

We hope for the best, God willing.

Knok, since NABP is addressing the issue do we still need to collect more complaints and proof ?

If yes, should I forward the correspondence mail between myself and ETS to IPHARM or copy and paste it in word document and then send it ?

Pls. reply .

World is built on hope.
Good Luck
