After graduation, I worked as a hospital pharmacist for two years, afterwards I served as Pharmacy Department Inspector in the Ministry of Health for three years; further I worked eleven years in pharmaceuticals manufacturing as a production pharmacist and head of tablets, syrups, and ointments production. For eight years I worked as a technical manager of pharmaceutical products importer and distributor.After coming to the United States of America, I did the Equivalency Exam of Foreign Pharmacy graduates and related requirements and got certified as a registered pharmacist.
