Pharmacy and Medicine in Ancient Egypt presents the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Pharmacy and Medicine in Ancient Egypt (Barcelona, October 25-26, 2018). The conference included presentations on new research and advances in the topics covered in the first two conferences (Cairo, 2007 and Manchester, 2008). It showcased the most recent pharmaceutical and medical studies on human remains and organic and plant material from ancient Egypt, together with related discussions on textual and iconographic evidence, to evaluate the present state of knowledge and the advances we have made on pharmacy and veterinary and human medicine in Ancient Egypt. The conference program combined plenary sessions, oral communications and posters with discussions that established interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers and research groups to formulate breakthrough approaches in these fi elds. Participation in the conference and poster sessions ranged from distinguished researchers and professors from academic institutions, museums and universities, to postgraduates and doctoral students at the beginning of their careers.
Pharmacy is the practice of sourcing, preparing and dispensing pharmaceutical preparations to treat ailments. The use of medicinal plants as remedies, from ancient to current times, precedes any formal medical record knowledge being transmitted from generation to generation. This is manifested in traditional medicine today, in which treatments are characteristic of a local community.
This century has witnessed a revived interest in natural drug resources and the reestablishment of sustainable species to satisfy demand (Demerdash 2001). Herbal remedies are now regulated (British Herbal Pharmacopoeia), whereas scientific interest focuses on pharmacognosy and pharmacology (Evans 2002).
History attributes medicine to Hippocrates, c. 460 b.c., and drugs to the mythical Chiron. Asclepiades (100 b.c.) communicated Hippocratic medicine to Rome whilst Dioscorides (c. 50 a.d.) compiled the first pharmacopoeia of 500 drugs (Gunther 1934). His contemporary, Pliny, wrote of medicinal plants, whereas Celsus recorded the materia medica of the Roman world. In c. 150 a.d., Galen developed pharmacy, thereby influencing medicine for 1,500 years (Brock 1952; Sarton 1954; Nutton 2001). In the fifth century a.d., Oribasius translated Galenic texts into Syriac, which remained medical doctrine for 200 years. When Islam united Near Eastern countries under one religion in the seventh century a.d., Galen's teachings were embraced (Elgood 1951) and continued to influence Arabic medicine until the eleventh century.

Pharmacists educated outside of the United States are required to achieve Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination CommitteeTM (FPGEC) Certification before applying for a pharmacy licensure exam or state board of pharmacy license.
Gain a better understanding of the steps involved in receiving FPGEC Certification. The timeframes may vary during high-volume periods and are not guaranteed. Before applying for certification, read the FPGEC Candidate Application Bulletin for application details and requirements. Reviewing the Candidate Application Bulletin is the first, and most important, step in the application process.
Make sure you have an NABP e-Profile and e-Profile ID number. You will need an account to submit the online FPGEC application. Your e-Profile ID replaces the EE number as an identifier. Do not create a new e-Profile if you applied for certification prior to May 2018. Read the Candidate Application Bulletin for more information.
Check with the Educational Testing Service (ETS) for dates and locations for the exam. International test site locations are not accepted by the FPGEC. All 4 sections of the exam must be completed in 1 testing session; MyBest scores are not accepted. Remote-proctored or the at home TOEFL iBT exam is not accepted by the FPGEC.
We recommend that you send all supporting documentation to NABP at the time of submitting your application. FPGEC applications are only valid for 2 years. Evaluation of your FPGEC application will not begin until all documentation is received, including a passing TOEFL iBT score report.
ECE will verify your degree credentials and is the only organization that can evaluate your credentials on behalf of NABP. The ECE application may be submitted prior to submitting your FPGEC application.
This may include a license, a registration, both a license and a registration, or neither. You will also need to provide other required personal documentation (passport, attestation, and photos) that can be sent to NABP. Do not submit original documents, as documents will not be returned. A certified photocopy of your passport should be submitted.
If your documents are not in English, follow the translation requirements specified in the Candidate Application Bulletin. Documents must be submitted in a properly sealed envelope by the issuing body, with a seal, stamp, or signature of an official across the envelop flap closure, to ensure the confidentiality of the documents. Envelopes that are not sealed as outlined in the Candidate Application Bulletin or that appear tampered with will not be accepted.
After submitting an FPGEC application, you will have 2 years to meet the requirements for acceptance to the certification program. Review all documentation requirements in the Candidate Application Bulletin thoroughly before they are submitted. Your evaluation may significantly be delayed if the documents are sent incorrectly the first time.
You will have 2 years to meet the requirements for acceptance to the certification program. In addition to submitting your online FPGEC application, the following supporting documents must be received for your evaluation to begin:
Additional information about the required documentation and evaluation process can be found in the Foreign Pharmacy Help Section and Candidate Application Bulletin. Check your application and document evaluation status by logging in to your NABP e-Profile.
Evaluation of supporting documents and your application may take up to 8 weeks. The evaluation will not start until all the required documentation is received at NABP Headquarters, including a passing TOEFL iBT score report. Evaluations are prioritized in the order they are received. The timeframes may vary during high-volume periods and are not guaranteed. Your evaluation status will be posted in your NABP e-Profile. Requesting a status update will not expedite the evaluation time.
Each time you submit corrected/required documents per your deficiency posting, they must be evaluated. It can take an additional 8 weeks from the time they are received by NABP for the new documents to be evaluated. Evaluation will not begin until all deficient documents are received at NABP Headquarters.
You will be notified electronically that you are eligible to purchase and schedule your FPGEE when you have completed all of the requirements for your FPGEC application. You will receive an acceptance notification in your NABP e-Profile. You will have 2 years to take and pass the FPGEE from your acceptance date. Expiration dates are final and will not be extended for any reason. Refer to the Candidate Application Bulletin for the FPGEC requirements and policies.
On the day of the FPGEE test, you must present your FIC and your primary ID. Your primary ID must exactly match your name in e-Profile and your FIC. You will forfeit your test fee if these requirements are not met.
You will be granted your FPGEC Certification after completing all of the above steps and receiving passing scores on the TOEFL iBT and FPGEE exams. A paper FPGEC Certificate will not be provided. NABP e-Profile will show your FPGEC Certification date; this date can also be viewed by the state boards of pharmacy.
