overseas pharmacist

HEY GUYS, CAN SOMEBODY MAKE IT CLEAR. HOW CAN A GRADUATE IN PHARMACY(4 YEARS) FROM A SCHOOL OUTSIDE UNITED STATES AFTER JAN 2003, GET A LICENCE IN ILLINOIS. SINCE NABP KEEP ON SINGING THE SAME OLD SONG Ie: FPGEC AND ECE????? WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A GRADUATE( 4 YEARS) TO TAKE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. WHY THERE ARE SO MANY CONFUSING POSTINGS OVER CYBER WORLD REGARDING LICENCE PROCEDURE. DOES THIS 4 YEARS CONCEPT AND 1200 OR 400 HOURS INTERNSHIP WITH CLINICAL PRACTICE APPLY TO ONLY US GRADUATES OR ANYONE FROM ANY COUNTRY WITH 4 YEARS PROGRAM, AFTER JAN 2003. MORE INFORMATION MORE CONFUSING MORE CONFUSING LESS CLEAR. MAKE IT CLEAR

There have been a lot of information posted over cyberspace regarding these new regulations about pharmacy licence reqirements. As the new policies indicates that five year degree requirement is no longer in existence and any overseas pharmacist can apply for licence to work as pharmacist in illinois. Look at the application stating that pharmacy curriculum must be five years and FPGEE requirements says all foreign pharmacist graduating after Jan 2003 must have a curriculum of five years. Since the FPGEE requirements is still 5 years As posted on net (NABP.NET) and application for pharmacist licence must be accompanied with FPGEC and ECE evaluations. How this new rules gonna help anybody who can not sit for FPGEE and not produce FPGEC with application. Lot of confusions :hmm: Anybody with latest and clear info, please share knowledge.
