The trumpet of success once again has blown with several UIC Clinical Pharmacy graduates passing North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX).
Since the offering of the B.S. Pharmacy major in Clinical Pharmacy by the University of the Immaculate Conception in 2004, a number of graduates have qualified to sit for the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalence Exam (FPGEE) allowing them to earn a 1,500 hours of Pharmacy Internship in the United States. However, the path does not end here, to become a US Licensed Pharmacist, ultimately the intern has to hurdle the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) and the Multistate Pharmacist Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE).
Some of our UIC Clinical Pharmacy Graduates have successfully passed the NAPLEX. Among whom are:
1. Rose Baes
2. Dr. Marie Ann Co Villegas
3. Jaycelle Draug Turner
4. Leonora Derecho
5. Nerissa Madlambayan
6. Ruby Melgar
7. Ma. Lourdes Jose
8. Sharmie Uy
9. Stephanie Rolando
10. Rose Anne Siapno
The UIC Pharmacy program and the administration salute these UIC graduates. This is another milestone int he history of the UIC College of Pharmacy. Being the only University in Mindanao offering B.S. Clinical Pharmacy, it has paved new way of opportunity for its pharmacy graduates. This is inspiring to all clinical pharmacy students, everything good is worth waiting and fighting for! Carpe Diem!
