The FPGEE is a comprehensive pharmacy exam, which focuses on knowledge from biomedical, pharmaceutical, behavioral, and clinical sciences. To be eligible for the FPGEE, you must first apply for FPGEC Certification and complete the necessary steps .
Applicants who become eligible during the FPGEC Certification process can take the FPGEE. When you become eligible, you receive a notification through your NABP e-Profile.
The FPGEE is offered once per year at Pearson VUE test sites located throughout the continental United States.
