Hi, guys! I’m sorry but I didn’t get which exam should be the first, TOEFL or FPGEE?? Or may be it doesn’t matter?! Please, could someone answer me? I’m just preparing for October FPGEE and planning to take my TOEFL only after that. I've got confused :(

Hi Koki2000 I think, Nata meant the Russian Certificate that we need to possess to practice pharmacy in our country. It is a medium-sized red book where every five years the Russian Board records that you are entitled to practice after you have attended the required classes and passed the required exams. I think it is something like the licensing procedures in the US. Nata’s just helped us; we don’t need to bother, if I’ve understood ok the Americans don’t require this document. As for me, I’m currently at my native town gathering the papers. At our academy I’ve found someone who does know which papers are needed because he did and does it for different countries’ Boards. I hope he’ll help me… By the way, Koki, when you’re going to sit for the FPGEE exam, this April or October?....I’m afraid I have to put off till October :0( as I’ll not manage to get all document and visa ready before April…and my MBA is still keeping me extremely busy :0((( Good luck

faten, which institute in Russia did you graduate from? if Pyatigorsk Academy i can advise you, as I'm actually gathering my documents for the US good luck!!

Hi koki2000! I’m sorry to delay in my replying, actually I’m busy with MBA classes...tomorrow is my last class for this session....then I’ll be free to detail the information As for me I've sent a request for an application form via Board's website and already in two weeks they sent it to me to Moscow!! Incredible!!!....for the first I’m going to get free from my current classes on Management of Change, Strategic Management and other stuff :0)))…then to complete this application, then I’m going to gather 3 kits of required documents at my Pharm Academy…of course I’ll keep everyone informed here to share my experience, as I’m gonna take this exam in June 2009…so we have enough time to get ready for all the trials :0) I would say the most scaring for me is seeking for a job in the US after getting the Certificate and of course seeking for an employer who will be agreeable to sponsor a working visa for me…I think that is much more difficult particularly within current crisis that any exams and ect. See you soon!

Hi! I'm in Russia :0)...same here I’m going to take my exam in June 2009. Nice to meet you, hope we will stay in touch Good luck :0))

Hi! Thanks indeed for you reply!! but...as far as I know, in Russia we don’t have any types of bank checks!....in Russia we can only make money transfer from one bank to another, or pay in cash....the Board sent me an application form and also I found a pink envelope with a notice this is for Application Fees...really stupid, what should I do? To put money insight....that is the only one what I’m able to do.... Please, could somebody share his or her experience? thanks everybody!!

hi! just have a look at what my classmate sent me (below): Тебе нужна справка о выполнении учебного плана со всеми предметами за 5 лет, часами о оценками, включая практику и гос.екзамены. И еще архивная справка о том что ты действительно закончила академию.Они там все знают сами.Ето все должно быть подписано ректором и конечно с печатью академии. 2екземпляра каждой справки вкладывается в конверт, заклеивается, подписывается ректором и опечатывается с 2-х сторон. первый конверт ты открываешь и переводишь все на английский и заверяешь у нотариуса и отправляешь со всеми другими документами в борд.2-й конверт не открываешь, а отсылаешь в агенство на евалюацию. оригинал диплом и выписку из зачетной книжки высылать не надо. Только переводы. She's got through all this stuff!! as for me, I'm just learning the Brochure carefully and making notes what is the first, second....and last. My advice is to reread the site and the Brochure. By the way i cant find any bank details where should i transfer money (fee) to...did anyone find that? how are you going to send money to the Board?? Thank you

Hi! Russian Certificate (a red one) -that is what Official proof of license! I think you should ask for details at the Institute you graduated from. They should know, as you are not the only one who is gathering all the required documents for the evaluation. Anyway it is not a problem, indeed, you can call to the Board and specify whether this document is a strict requirement or not.

hi guys! Official proof of license and/or registration in Russia means the Certificate which we have to evaluate every five years. Otherwise you are not allowed to do a pharmaceutical practice in Russia.
