What are the various steps involved in the immigration process?
A majority of foreign licensed pharmacists are required to take the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Exam (FPGEE), the Test of Spoken English (TSE), and the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). An individual who receives a passing score on all three exams will be issued an FPGEC certificate. If you have not taken these exams, please contact the various organizations for testing requirements.
