[alferec]

Does anybody know if the pharmacology portion of NBEO Part I involves both generic AND brand names of drugs? Thanks in advance!

Here's what the NBEO says about it:

"On the Applied Basic Science (ABS) examination, drugs are referenced only by generic name. However, to help those candidates who may be more familiar with the trade names of drugs than with the generic names, the following list of generic drugs and their trade name equivalents has been prepared; this list will be printed on the inside front cover of the test booklets. Candidates should note that the list includes onlythose drugs referenced on the exam that have commonly used trade names. Candidates should also note that the list includes drugs used on other National Board exams; therefore, significantly more drugs appear on the list than actually appear on the ABS exam."

If you go to the website & dig around you can find the actual list that will be provided. Sorry I don't have the link...too busy studying🙂
