The WAPCP program started in the year …..

Part of the requirement for starting the Fellowship program at inception was 5 years post graduation experience, later on, it was reduced 2 years post qualification as a pharmacist.

The program runs in 2 parts (part I n II) for a period of 4 years which was later reviewed to run for 5 years incuding 2 years Residency period.

Part I covers general aspect of pharmacy profession in its entirety, hence the part I syllabus is so wide.

This is why comparatively, part I is more difficult to pass.

Averagely over the years, only about 10 to 15 % participants pass the part I exams, hence there is a need for a guide in form of a comprehensive smart summary of the whole course work for both parts I and II.

The Program covers 5 faculties namely; Social and Admin, Drug production and Quality Assurance, ….).

Due to the wide scope of the Part I, the need for me to make a smart summary of the courses became imperative.

This is why I made a summary of the whole Part I course work which guided me to pass the Part I exams against all odds.

Consequently, I thought of making a similar summary for my Part II course work but I was too busy, hence I motivated my classmate and good friend (Pharm Titilayo) to help me make a summary of the part II Courses and she obliged me to do that, sequel to which I only added a few other summaries to enable me get ready for the Part II exams, which the 2 of us pass.

Unknown to me, just like I made a smart summary for my Part I Courses before the Exams, she also did the same in her part I (thus, making a smart summary of course work was our common denominator).

This prompted Madam Titilayo to contact me to request I should send her a copy of the part II summary that she made for me which included the few other notes I added.

She then made a compilation of the Part I and II Summaries to produce the Fellowship Examinations guide.

Based on my personal experience, any student that painstakingly peruse this guide and make conscious efforts to understand the scientific principles and concepts in the FPCPharm program needs only to synchronise such knowledge with Pharmaceutical Care and related pharmacy practice activities and he/she will surely pass the exams (Part I general and Part II Social and Administrative Pharmacy).

Therefore a little hardwork following this Exams Guide will make focussed participants pass their exams at one sitting.

I hereby recommend the Guide to Participants to grab a copy.
