Hi, I started to look for the internship in MD. Apparently most of the retail pharmacies are not interested in the foreign graduates as the interns. However there are plenty of Pharm Tech positions in the area. As some pharmacists explained that pharmacy tech hours could be count as the internship hours. I had PTCB certificate before, just got it 6 year ago, never worked, passed FPGCE, and just let this certificate expire. Should I take this test again? or just keep knocking to the pharmacies with FPGCC. (even volunteering hours would work for me, but have no idea how to start) Any advise will be very helpful. Thanks.

thank you so much.. i really appreciate it... I am starting my application to the NABP

Hello! Could anybody help me? I just got ECE General Evaluation Report. It sayes U.S. Equivalence: Bachelor of Pharmacy degree Credential: Diploma confirming the qualification of Pharmacit [This is a five-year program that represents the first professional degree in pharmacy in Russia] Does it mean that I am eligible for FPGEE? Thank you.

Hello, thanks for your help. As far as I know it neither licensing nor registration were required to practice pharmacy in Russia. I only need my Diploma to practice pharmacy. In that case what should I get for Official proof of license and/or registration? My Diploma?

Hi everyone. Could you share, please, how you prepare the translation of the non-english documents. I mean diploma and transcript. ESE says, "You may prepare the translations yourself, as long as they are complete, literal, word-for-word, and in the same format as the original document". What does it mean word-for-word? I made my translation by myself, also certified and notarized it, but I translated not word-for-word, I just tried to find out closest meaning for equivalent discipline. Is it OK? Tank you

Privet! I'm from Russia also and absolutely new here. Could anybody help me? Some things are not very clear for me. The documents for (FPGEC) at NABP include Official proof of license and/or registration. FPGEC Aplication Bulletin says: "If neither licensing nor registration were required to practice pharmacy in the country or jurisdiction where the pharmacy degree was earned, a request for an “Affidavit for Failure to Obtain Licensure in a Foreign Jurisdiction” must be submitted with the application materials." What does it mean?
