International pharmacists waiting on FPGEC/FPGEE: what jobs did you do in the meantime? Looking for leads and referrals

Hi everyone,

I'm a Canadian-licensed pharmacist who recently moved to Rockville, Maryland, in the DC metro area. I'm working through the FPGEC certification process and waiting to write the FPGEE next year and I need a job in the meantime.

My background:
• 9 years of pharmacy practice, including managing a high-volume community pharmacy clinic (700 + prescriptions a day)
• Certified Diabetes Educator, seeing about 30 diabetes patients a month
• Compounding pharmacist, where I supervised compounding and created master formulary records

**•**	Experience training pharmacy interns and acting as a preceptor.

I'm hardworking, and I love providing value and solving problems. I'll bring that to any team I join.

For those of you who've been through this, what did you do while waiting to write the exam? I'm open to roles in and outside traditional pharmacy, such as clinical research, pharmacovigilance, medical information, pharma or biotech roles, pharmacy work, remote healthcare jobs, administrative work.

I'd really appreciate any help, whether that's job leads, company names, recruiters who work with international pharmacists, or a referral. If you work at a company in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area or remotely and know of an opening, I'd be grateful for an introduction. Please comment or send me a DM.

Thank you!

Looking for a shared home in or near Bethesda, MD

Hi everyone! My daughter and I recently moved to the Rockville area and are looking for a shared home arrangement, ideally a suite or private level with its own entrance, close enough to get to school on time.

We’re hoping to rent for 10 months to a year while we get settled in the area before committing to a permanent place.

If you have a space available, or know someone who might be open to renting to us, I’d really appreciate you reaching out. Thank you!
