brian1978 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 hi, Could anyone direct me to information on what a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem is worth in the States? I'd like to find out if it's enough to get a job in the metro NY area and/or what US school would count the courses from this degree toward a domestic degree in Pharmacy. Thanks! B.

pharm2009 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi brian, Basically the answer depends on what kind of degree you have. if you have a four year degree and you have graduated before 2003 you can apply for foreign pharmacists equivalency examinations. if you have a five year degree you are ok to apply with out any restrictions. but for more and accurate info check the nabp website. good luck.

brian1978 Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thank you Pharm; the degree mentioned above is a 4 year degree acquired in 2008. Nabp has been quite difficult to navigate. Any further advice? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anacleto85 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Hi, Because you have a 4-yr degree and graduated after 2003 you cannot sit for FPGEE (as Pharm said, you need a 4-yr degree earned before 2003 or 5-yr degree). I am not sure if any university in the US will give you credits for the courses you have already taken. I guess different institutions have different policies and the best thing would be to contact directly the school of pharmacy you are interested in. Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian1978 Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Thanks for your answers! The problem I am facing is that there is no clear way to find out which Universities offer continuing programs for people who finished 4 year pharmaceutical programs after 2003. Does anyone know where I could turn for more info? Thanks Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmachtin Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Maybe if you'll get a MA in Pharm. from HUJI the NABP will consider the extra years of study for the fpgec. I'm sure Golomb or Hoffman won't object a master student. I luckilly, graduated before 2003 (1996 to be exact) so the 4 years are enough. I'm now studying for the fpgee in June.

brian1978 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hey M, thanks for replying! The idea is to move next year in order to join my other half, who is already in NYC; so starting a masters in Jerusalem is out of the question, and also quite unsure with the NABP. Any other ideas will be appreciated... Good luck on your test! B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daltonrx Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hello. Has anyone or would you know anyone who earned the degree of MS Pharmacy as well as graduated from a 4-year BS Pharmacy curriculum after January 2003 applied for FPGEC? I have earned both degrees from the Philippines after January 2003. Would you kindly share the results of the evaluation? Were you allowed to sit for FPGEE? Thank you.
