Main description:

The APhA Complete Review for the FPGEE, Second Edition provides a study guide on the knowledge necessary to successfully pass the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE). Accordingly, the target audience is foreign pharmacists desiring to practice as licensed pharmacists in the United States. While not intended to be a comprehensive reference for all aspects of the basic sciences and pharmaceutical sciences, the goal is to address the four major pharmacy content areas as outlined with the FPGEE nationally uniform content competency statements. Material may be suitable as study guide for current student pharmacists interested in a broad overview of the topics addressed as well.
