What must a foreign graduate provide to meet the certification requirement?

To meet the certification requirement, a foreign graduate must provide their FPGEC certification. The Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Committee (FPGEC) certification is specifically designed to validate the education and training of foreign pharmacy graduates in relation to U.S. standards. This certification demonstrates that the individual has met the educational equivalency to practice pharmacy in the United States, covering both academic and language proficiency assessments.

While an official transcript might provide insight into the applicant's academic background, it does not assure that the foreign education meets U.S. standards. A state-specific pharmacy license is necessary for practice but is not a requirement for certification. Additionally, a high school diploma is not relevant in this context, as the focus is on the applicant's postgraduate pharmacy education and its equivalency to U.S. standards. Therefore, the FPGEC certification is the critical document required for a foreign pharmacy graduate to proceed in the certification process.
