Pat,

Your daughter in law probably had to take the ECFMG, a very rigorous exam 
for foreign medical school graduates to enter residency programs in the 
US.  There is an English language testing component to the exam besides 
all the questions related to medicine.

[EnglishLanguage 4052] Re: certification of pharmacists via TOEFL






Hi
My daughter in law is a physician from Slovakia.  She had to take several 
different kinds of tests of her skill level and her English level to be 
able to apply for a residency program in the USA.  She didn't have to take 
the TOEFL.   All the testing was with the Kaplan agency.
Maybe the pharmacist's association should re consider their 
qualifications.
My DIL has good English but there are so many idioms etc that will take a 
long time to understand.
Regards
Pat in Pa.
