NAPLEX, Georgia MPJE exams suspended indefinitely
No reinstatement date set after NABP acts to ensure integrity of gateways to licensure.
As a result of the August 25 suspension of the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) and Georgia Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (GA MPJE) by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), recent graduates are caught in an awkward and unprecedented position. The action came on the heels of an August 23 emergency meeting of the NABP executive committee to review the security of the examinations. No reinstatement date has been set.
NABP noted in a memo sent to state boards of pharmacy that its decision to discontinue the NAPLEX and GA MPJE was to ensure that the "integrity of the examinations is maintained" and to supply state boards of pharmacy with "only valid and psychometrically sound examinations."
When contacted by Pharmacy Today, NABP declined to comment on reports that United States' Marshals seized computers and other materials at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy and the home of one of its faculty members. The University of Georgia College of Pharmacy also declined to comment on the reports, and U.S. Marshal Theresa A. Rodgers of the Middle District of Georgia was unavailable for comment at the time this article was written.

The man who knew to much.
I am sure all of you have heard the NAPLEX exam has been suspended till further notice and that means for most of my new graduate clients cannot get their licenses for another couple of months. We at infinity went right into action once we heard, we have proposed to our hospitals a way to help new grads get jobs while they wait for their licensing. Some hospitals have agreed to what we have proposed and some have not. At the end of the day our new grads are not just sitting and waiting nervously for their licenses while jobs dry up around them. We hope to help as many new grads as possible. To read more about the intrigue surrounding the NAPLEX exam please feel free to click the post title to read the article about the professor who knew too much.
