r/fpgec

Just took it and I scored 86. Would that be enough to assess the likelihood of me passing the actual exam? 🥲

Are the questions based on what in the APHA?? since most of the guys who took the pre exam say that the questions are broad and weird!!!

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!
