FPGEC Revises Policy on Exam Retakes and Score Validity - National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® (NABP®) After reading this it doesn't mention that you can retake 5 times.

epharmacist i tried to reply but you have full pm inbox.

All 50 states, District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico require graduates of pharmacy schools that are not based in the US to achieve Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) Certification before applying for a license from a state board of pharmacy. Contact the state board of pharmacy for specific requirements as each state’s requirements differ. Some states, for example, exempt graduates of Canadian pharmacy schools from this requirement.

I guess the result will be at 1 pm tomorrow as i read last exam result.But i will check tomorrow from time to time starting at 8 am.

Do i deserve 1 too Erin?I live also in US,in Georgia.

Wow that's nice.I love to have one too and have photo wearing it in Bahamas.I'll be in Bahamas next week Nov.15-19.It will be a nice b-day gift for me which is my b-day is on Nov.19 .:-)

Probably next week.Starting on Monday i will check it everyday.

When the NABP site will post FPGEE score for September is available then you can log in and check it.My friend told me she got her score last April after 5 weeks from the date of the exam.

Yes i did checked that site,it's not specific data.Im sorry i did not mean that higher chances of sponshorship is in small cities.What i wrote was it's not hard to find intership for US citizen and green card holder in some small cities because i know someone who is a green card holder who just work as intern pharmacist in small city.Another friend(college classmate) also US citizen who had internship before and now she is already a licensed pharmacist in small city.I can't say about sponsorship if has chances in small cities cause i never meet someone who work as intern with sponsorship.

You are right Cro also MPJE except : Currently, 46 jurisdictions utilize the MPJE as part of their licensure requirements. (Arkansas, California, Guam, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Virginia, and the Virgin Islands do not participate. Contact the board of pharmacy for law examination requirements in those jurisdictions. South Dakota began administering the MPJE February 1, 2010.) Yeah RPhmanager got confused with the terms FPGEE and FPGEC.

The requirements may be found at O.C.G.A. 26-4-46 - Pharmacy interns -- Eligibility and requirements for licenses: (a) To obtain a license as a pharmacy intern, an applicant shall: (1) Have submitted a written application in the form prescribed by the board of pharmacy; (2) Have attained the age of majority; (3) Be of good moral character; and (4) Have paid the fees specified by the board for the issuance of the license. (b) The following individuals shall be eligible to be licensed as a pharmacy intern: (1) A student who is currently enrolled in an approved school or college of pharmacy; (2) An individual who is a graduate of an approved school or college of pharmacy who is currently licensed by the board for the purpose of obtaining practical experience as a requirement for licensure as a pharmacist; or (3) An individual who does not meet the requirements of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection and is a graduate of a pharmacy school or college located in another country but who has completed all requirements of the Foreign Pharmacy Equivalency Certification Program administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.

You may download the Internship Information and Application or contact the Georgia State Board of Pharmacy at (478) 207-2440 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting (478) 207-2440 end_of_the_skype_highlighting. I hope it helps,just contact the state where you would like to apply as intern pharmacist.And you could download the Internship information and application.I read you received already your FPGEC certificate from NABP.Good for you you cleared both.Goodluck for internship!

3. Any individual who has established educational equivalency by obtaining a Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Committee (FPGEC) certificate for the purpose of obtaining practical experience for licensure as a pharmacist. © Licenses shall be valid for five (5) years or until such intern is expelled, suspended, dismissed or withdraws from an approved school, becomes licensed as a pharmacist, or has taken and failed the Board examination for the third tine, whichever comes first. Intern licenses may be renewed at the discretion of the Board. 1. Individuals who have established educational equivalency by meeting the requirements of Rule 480-2-.02 must obtain 1500 hours of practical pharmacy experience under the instruction of a licensed pharmacist. The minimum number of intership hours that will be accepted is twenty (20) hours worked in any week. The maximum number of internship hours worked that will be accepted is fifty (50) hours worked in any week. This is only for Georgia board of pharmacy.Geo1syria if you mean if you are eligible to work overtime as intern (for monetary reason) maybe it depends of your employer if they allow that but if the reason so that you could finish internship hours earlier i think you better check your state maximum internship hours work that will be accepted in a week.Like in Georgia where i lived,the maximum hours is 50 hours in a week.So if the employer will allow me to work more than 50 hrs. a week then my state board will count only 50 hours and the rest hours that i work overtime will not accepted.But if employer allow me to work overtime then why not,i don't care if overtime not counted for intership as long as every week paycheck is good.

Maybe it depends in an area where you looking for internship.I know someone that she got hired as intern pharmacist after passing FPGEE and TOEFL while waiting her FPGEC from NABP.It took her 2 months to received her FPGEC after she cleared both exams.She paid $17/hr as intern pharmacist then she will have $ 30+/hr. after completing the state internship hours required then once she pass the NAPLEX her salary will be $50+/hr. as license pharmacist.I don't know if she is allowed overtime work.I think you can read on the site of how many hours you are allowed to work as intern pharmacist in 1 week to complete the state intership hours requirement.It's better to read the state board of pharmacy rules and regulations regarding intership hours cause i read something before that they have specific hours for interns to work in 1 week to be counted to complete intership.
