Pharmacist Licensure Help

[sookiek917]

Hi.. I will Be graduating next year after completing the 6 year pharm.d program. I'm pending for permanent residence. I do have my SSN and EAD. Do you guys know if I am eligible to take the NAPLEX/MJPE in New Jersey? Or do I have to take the FPGEE because I'm not a citizen? I'm confused as to what to do. What's the fastest route in obtaining my Pharmacist license? Thanks in advance

hi,
if you have completed Pharm.D from an american university, you need not have to write FPGEE. you are eligible to appear for NAPLEX and MPJE as soon as you graduate. FPGEE is for those pharmacists who completed thier studies outside USA -not for someone who completed Pharm.D in US. you can contact your state board about when you could appear for NAPLEX ( currently NAPLEX is suspended throughout US and i am not sure when they are going to reinstate that. ( i am also waiting to write NAPLEX). good luck
