The Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE) is a critical milestone for internationally educated pharmacists seeking licensure in the United States. Administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), the FPGEE evaluates whether a candidate’s foundational pharmacy knowledge is equivalent to that of a graduate from an ACPE-accredited U.S. pharmacy program.

At TerraLeap, we are dedicated to helping international pharmacy graduates build the academic foundation required to succeed on the FPGEE and confidently advance toward U.S. pharmacist licensure.

The FPGEE is designed to:

• Determine whether internationally trained pharmacists meet U.S. educational equivalency standards

• Assess knowledge across biomedical sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, social/administrative sciences, and clinical pharmacy

• Verify academic readiness for U.S. pharmacy practice training and licensure requirements

• Serve as a gateway examination before candidates proceed to internship hours and the NAPLEX pathway

It functions as a national academic equivalency assessment for foreign pharmacy graduates entering the U.S. licensure process.

Regulatory authorities and NABP use the FPGEE to:

• Protect Public Health: Ensure pharmacists entering U.S. practice possess the scientific and clinical knowledge needed for safe patient care

• Ensure Educational Equivalency: Standardize evaluation of pharmacy graduates from diverse international education systems

• Create a Fair Licensure Pathway: Provide an objective and transparent mechanism for assessing foreign graduates

• Maintain Professional Standards: Uphold U.S. pharmacy education benchmarks and healthcare delivery quality
