jessica2525 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 No post and when I called them they said it's still in the process. I learned not to take their word when they say ''you should hear from us in 2 weeks time". Like someone said "every decision is case by case" I stop studying for now and back to work. A bit relife. I'll be doing the Tofel soon. Thanks An12345 Hi i got my ECe and says I got the eqiuvalency Of Bachelor of Science with major oin Pharmaceutical sciences. Does this mean i can seat for fpgee.I need an answer Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LishaD Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Jessica 2525 you just have to wait and see :( I still have not heard from them, and was hoping to sit tomorrow's exam. I gave up calling them. Keep your fingers crossed. Good luck to 19th April 10 exam takers. Hope they'll do well. Wow am I glad that I didn't take the April exam cause I wouldn't have made it to the US due to the flight ban since 14th of April. That would have been so cruel to miss an exam after studying so hard. What would NABP do for those who missed their exam? Who told that volcano in Iceland to erupt and stop all flights?!?

orchidthief88 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hello all, I just wanted to mention to all the fellow Canadians out there that I graduated after 2003 from a Canadian pharmacy program and I have been accepted to write the FPGEE. I thought that our program was considered a four year program and for years I believed I would not be able to get licensed in the States. However, after I finally called the NABP, they confirmed that the Canadian degree is considered a "four plus one" - four year degree plus one year foundational/prerequisites/whatcha-ma-call-it I submitted my ECE documentation in early April and received word within a couple of weeks. I sat on my documents for a while and then sent everything off to the NABP at the end of April and received word within four weeks, probably three, that everything had been approved and I am now signed up for certain for the September 30th exam. It all went surprisingly quick for me, though I guess I did obsessive-compulsively check everything multiple times. I'm just posting this so that other Canadian pharmacists curious about their equivalency eligibility will have a quick answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your case, I'm afraid you might not be able to sit for FPGEE. But I suggest you call NABP to make a final try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shwartzm Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hi everyone, I have a B.Pharm degree from Israel. There are only two universities that teach Pharmacy. Studying takes four years and after that internship for another six months. We have to complete the internship successfully in order to get the diploma and the right to work as a pharmacist. I want to practice Pharmacy in the U.S and from what I've read in the NABP site, it is not enough (so I understood). Maybe someone here studied in Israel and can tell me if it's enough? If not, what can I do? Do I need a second degree? In what major? Everyone who knows and can help me, I'll be very thankfull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmanju09 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 dear jigneshpatel, To answer your questions: 1. my ECE says I have a US equivalent of Bachelor of Pharmacy degree. 2 & 3. Back in Malaysia, 12th grade in US is equivalent to our high school. After high school, we cannot enroll into a Pharmacy degree, we need a Pre-University foundation (also called Pre-pharmacy coursework in US). My Pre-university foundation is a 2 years program (however, ECE says my 2 years is equivalent to US 1 year of pre-pharmacy). So 1 year pre-pharm + 4 years bachelor of pharmacy degree = 5 years. 4. I did not contact the Dean of Ohio. I applied to NABP from Malaysia. I sent in my application to NABP and received the acceptance letter in 3 weeks. But make sure all your documents are complete and notarized. I spent lots of money in notary public services. But it paid off. Have you submitted your FPGEE application to NABP? All the best to you! Hi, i have B.pharm 4 years degree but in india for high school we study bilogy , chemistry and maths for 2 years so in that case will ECE will accept me for FPGEE? please help me out...and what curriculum you guys have for High school?
