hai
i am dileep and i have competed my b.pharm in india and currently i am studying m.s in chemistry in east carolina university and after completing my m.s am i eligible to take naplex exam
 
hi ashish,
i am sorry to point out that you may not be eligible to take FPGEE. according to new NABP rules ( national association of board of pharmacists), the foreign pharmacist who are eligible to take FPGEE should have atleast 5 years of continous study in pharmacy. let me also point out to you that doing your M.Pharm may not be counted towards the requirement of 5 years continuous study ( in short going for M.Pharm may not help you).
the option you have is to join a pharmacy college in US and get ur Pharm.D degree here. some colleges and universities offer accelarated pharm.D programs,(try western university of health sciences ) so that you dont not have to study for the entire 6 years (ie: 2 years of pre- pharmacy and 4 years of pharmacy school). if u r planning to pursue this option, u should first clear TOEFL with a score the college requires and you should get your certificates evaluated by the evaluation agency the college prefers ( ex- WES (world education services) new york, joseph and silny associates etc.) and should have a GPA score (grade point average) of 3 or more (out of 4). ( different colleges require different GPA scores but most of them require a score of atleast 3 out of total 4). then you should apply for your student visa and all that stuff and also should prove that you have enough funds to cover your entire study.
hope this info would be helpful. best of luck
 
dileep,
when did you passed B.Pharm?? having MS in chemistry will not make you eligible to apply for NAPLEX straight away or to practice pharmacy in united states (pharmacy and chemistry and treated as different subjects!). if you passed B.Pharm prior to 2003, you could apply for FPGEE and after ( and only after) clearing FPGEE, you could take NAPLEX.

joious,
please refer to my post to ashish. there is enough info in it to answer your question. as to whether you should be in the states to apply for FPGEE - it is not necessary. but you have to come to US inorder to write the exam. (FPGEE exam is offered within US only)

sorry for the delay in getting back to you. i understand that studiying for 6 more years is not a viable option. accelarated pharm.D program helps you to finish your pharm.D in 3 years. it is an option that is available for foreign pharmacists and those pharmacists who only have a B.S degree but wish to pursue Pharm.D. it lets you finish pharm.D course in 3 years because they will give you credit for all the studies you did in pharmacy. go to the website http://www.westernu.edu/xp/edu/pharmacy/ipbp_about.xml and you can learn more about that.
i dont think you will be qualified as a pharmacist by doing doctorate in pharmacology. ( as you know pharmacy is not just about pharmacology- it encompasses a wide variety of subjects which are critical to patient care). i would also like to point out to you that canada and US do have entirely different rules and different exams for some one who wish to practice pharmacy ( this means that even if you get a pharm.D from a canadian university, you still have to write FPGEE, NAPLEX and MPJEE inorder to practice as a pharmacist in US and vice versa).
if you do not want to pursue Pharm.D ( accelarated or traditional), it is indeed a very good option to get a doctorate in pharmacology (or pharmaceutics or in medicinal chemistry)( pharmaceutical industries offer a good pay to someone with a doctorate). the only problem you might face is getting admission to the doctoral program ( most teachers take only a few students per year and that too is based on some quota system). so if you want to do doctorate, apply to as many universities and colleges as possible. (try universities like university of florida, university of south carolina (my place), university of georgia, university of california and so on).
hope there is enough info in this letter to help you. feel free to contact me if you need any more clarification. take care
