I graduated from the UK with my MPharm (the accepted UK pharmacy degree), but did not get licensed in the UK, as I would have had to stay and work a year as a pre-reg pharmacist. I went back home to Canada and applied for the FPGEE but they stated that I needed proof of full registration in another jurisdiction. I'm currently awaiting word on this, as page 18 of the FPGEC bulletin states that if you're not from that country you have to submit proof of this.

In any case, you need to summarize Chapters 1-18 of the Comprehensive Pharmacy Review, and also purchase a copy of the APhA's FPGEE guide. I have summarized both and am preparing to take the pre-FPGEE on Sept 1st to gauge my level of preparedness.

If anyone else here knows if anyone else (foreign grad) has applied to take the FPGEE but had no foreign license (just graduated) please lemme know what happened!

Thanx in advance!

Just outta curiosity -- has anyone here written a letter to the FPGEE Committee, and if so how long did they take to mail a reply? I wrote a letter to them (as directed by the NABP Customer Service), back on June 22nd, and have still not heard back... Not sure if the letter was lost!

Wow, great to see foreign pharmacy grads. But from my understanding is that chances to get an internship is almost 0 due to the surplus in the States. Is that true?

I'm also interested in this question. How hard would it be to get an internship? I was planning on working in California and it seems I'll need 1500 hours of internship.

The chances are way higher than 0 as long as the foreigners already have a legal status to work in the U.S. I think it is more a matter of timing than anything else. And I personally know a couple foreign pharmacists who got great internship opportunities when the right time came up.

Are these internships paid? (In Canada they aren't paid)

Yes, retail paid positions. One of the pharmacists recently switched from paid to an unpaid position in order to get clinical experience in a hospital. I guess there are less paid internship opportunities out there.

What's the pay like for internships? I'm thinking of getting licensed in a different state which requires less internship hours and then practicing there for one year before I try to get licensed in California. That way I can reduce the time I spend interning (and not getting the full pharmacist salary).

As far as I know, it varies a lot. And discrepancies in pay are common even within the same company in the same state/region. Go figure! Having said that, I've seen foreign grads making almost the same as a lead tech or somewhere in between to half (or close to half) of what a pharmacist makes. No more than that, for sure.

You could all benefit from the use of the FPGEE forum on urch -- in case you don't know of it.
urch.com then go to forums, then go to fpgee.
All the best

hey you can follow CPR for pharmacology and rest of the syllabus you can better follow APHA (complete review for the FPGEE). After you end up studying you can go through Mannon Shroff Qn n Ans. That should be good enough.

Hello !

If I may , regarding paid internship ... Unless you are a permanent resident ( green card ) in the US , there's no legal way to get paid .
I don't think that the pharmacy that would want to pay you as an intern can issue a work visa for that unfortunately .

HI Binha I just joined this forum. I am also a foreign graduated pharmacist. I graduated three years ago and am taking toefl ibt test and haven't passed it yet. I was wondering if you or anybody could help me what sources should I use to pass this test. I always get 23 or 24 in speaking and couldn't pass it. In addition, should I take the fpgee now or pass the toefl ibt test first and then start preparation for the fpgee with full concentration? I will really appreciate your help.
