Thank you so much Dr reem. You're always very helpful. But why the Epgee when you are already licensed as a candian pharmacist. Does that add to you in Canada or you are are moving to America ? I am asking because I always asked myself that question can anyone live like in Ontario (near America) and work actually in America and gain benefits of higher salary and stronger currency ?
I think so, but you probably must have been a Canadian citizen or at least PR holder. However, you are still required to get a TN-1 visa. This is a special type of temporary work visa for a list of professionals, you can read it up. I hope this info helps!
Hi Reem, Many thanks. I've got my exam in October. I was looking to purchase the APHA complete review for the FPGEE book. I was wondering whether the books you recommended in the video are more linked to the NAPLEX rather than the FPGEE? or am I wrong. Many thanks for your time
Dear Reem, I want to point out that FPGEE Review (Kaplan) latest edition belongs to 2017 and I also made a contact with their customer service and it appears they do not have a plan to update it annually. Do you agree to spend time on this edition for (probably) the next year exam? Thank you.
I would think it is acceptable to use the 2017 copy since it contains the basic pharmaceutical sciences and there has not been major changes in that department. However, I recommend studying the pharmacotherapeutics (clinical) portion from the latest RxPrep to ensure you have the most up-to-date reference.
Hi Reem. Congratulations 🎉Would please guide about US PR holders with PGY1 any exemptions for them like FPGE or credit hours for the licensing process . Regards
Hi Reem thank you for your help. I would like to know if we need to provide also transcript of our high-school (mine no loger exists) and if you know a class-course for FPGEE preparation (not pre-recorded/webnairs). Thank you
Thank you som much for the information I recently moved to usa and I will start studying. Can you plz tell me how long it will take to finish all the exam especially I have a little baby
It took me approximately one and a half years excluding the application submission/processing time. I talked about it in this video ua-cam.com/video/B7n99KrS3uQ/v-deo.html
For Indian student if somebody want becoming US registration pharmacist should it required 5 year of duration degree or if somebody hving 4 years of bachelor pharmacy from India will be it valid for Naplex and fpgee?
Thanks.. But can you tell me why you moved to usa? Just for more professional opportunities Or some other reasons? Even if you are a registered pharmacist in Canada still trying for USA? Because I have both opportunities can be go for USA as well as in Canada

So why did you have to take the FPGEE? I understand that FPGEE is only for foreign graduates without PharmD degree. I also know that in order to apply for residency programs in the US, it is important to have a PharmD degree, that’s why I asked that specific question. 😊
@@rayanabdelmagid8827 everyone who graduated from a non-ACPE accredited pharmacy school must take the FPGEE including those graduated with a PharmD from outside of the states
@@PharmacywithReem ok I get it now, thank you for clearing that out. Though I wonder, is it a necessary requirement to have a PharmD in order to apply for the MATCH? I have a Bachelors of pharmacy degree and going through the licensure process, my end goal is residency.
@@rayanabdelmagid8827 the fpgee is an equivalency exam that all foreign trained must take - regardless of degree type either b.pharm or pharm.d. However, for you to pursue your residency, you'll be required to do additional studies in a pharmacy accredited school there in US for a period of 3 to 4 years since you don't have the pharm.d. Until then before you can start your residency program. Though I heard there are some schools offering joint admissions for a pharm. D program straight to residency which will reduce the total cost by 1 year I think. I hope you understand.
