To all FPGEE candidates and Fellow Pharmacists !!!

Sponsorship for foreign pharmacist

Hello !

I would like to introduce myself as a Foreign Pharmacy Graduate
from India. I have received the ATT from the NABP to sit for
the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE).
This ATT (#FP001022011331) is valid upto Jan-2003. I am planning to sit for the exam in October-2002 and begin my internship immediately after I receive the FPGEC.

If employed either in Maine, Maryland or New Hampshire I can begin my internship even before clearing the FPGEE. I have already given TOEFL (Scored 287) and TSE (Scored 50)in May-2002.

I have been once denied a B1/B2.

I am currently in India and would like to know if your Co. can sponsor me for H1B Visa.

Hi all,

I just came across this discussion forum, and surprised to see that there is a place for all Pharmacist\'s to share their owes in the process of getting their license in their respective states.

I myself did my graduate in Madras aka Chennai and did my Masters in BITS Pilani. I went thro the road that you are all going thro now
about 5 years ago, only that then there was no place like this to share and seek information. Anyway By god\'s grace I did get my License and i am presently working with CVS as a Pharmacy Team Leader. If there is anything i could do to help drop me a line and I will try and help to the extent I can.

Good Luck to You all !!!

Ramesh.

P.S : I still have in my possesion a text book By Rudman which is aguide to Taking the FPGEE, I will be glad to share or sell. If any one needs
Not that it helps much or atlest not for me.

Pharmacy tech- can't get H-1,FPGEC prep

Sarvanan,
A Pharmacy technician is a trained person who helps the Pharmacist in filling a prescription. However, since no batchlor's degree is required to acquire this certification an H-1B cannot be processed. The best way is to come over to the US on F-1 visa or a visitor visa and write FPGEC.

Remi,
If you study the comprehensive Pharmacy review by Leon Shargel really well (omit OTC chapters) that should be good enough.
 
Enquiry on FPGEE

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for sharing your views on FPGEE. I'm new in this forum and I find it interesting and helpful to those planning to apply for FPGEE. I'm amazed at how people of the same profession in different location could help one another.
I finished my Pharmacy course in the Philippines in 1986, Worked as pharmacist there until 2001 when I moved to Singapore. I'm just wondering if I could still apply for FPGEE as I'm already in my 40's. Is there an age limit.
Thanks a lot, and God bless

Awaiting for the reply.
