Especially, for pharmacy graduates after 2003, this would be a very helpful option to pursue. Good Luck

Hi
Thank you for the information you have provided.
I have graduated from Jordan in July 2003 with a BS degree in Pharmacy.I am now working on Masters of Science in Pharmaceutics at Temple Univesity,Philadelphia PA. I am planning also to get my pharmacy liscence. Do you think it is a good idea to do a PharmD or to apply for the FPGEE?
most universities require foreign students who want to complete pharmD to study for another4 years which is too much . I got my BS in 5 years. That's why I decided to go for graduate studies. In both ways getting FPGEE certificate and then your liscence and study for another 4 years for PharmD are long ways .so wh do you recommend graduates after 2003 to apply for western university?
thanks
