Is the licensed pharmacist certificate worth it?

Hello, I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in the answer. How do you say this question? First of all, whether it is worth it or not, having the ability to pass the exam is also recognition of your ability. After studying pharmacy, you can use this certificate to prove your professional level.

Moreover, the outline of this exam is revised year by year, and the content of the exam is more flexible and practical, which is closer to the actual situation. This also brings some challenges to the candidates. In the past, many knowledge points could be passed by rote memorization. It's different now. We need to make some analysis, transformation and flexible application in our work to pass the test. I took many exams before the reform to get the certificate. Of course, this is also related to the hard work and solid basic skills when preparing for the exam.

Now the certificate holder is far below the market demand, and the gold content of the certificate itself ranks tenth among all qualification certificates. The employment prospects are still good. In addition to practicing pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies, you can also open your own pharmacy. The person in charge of the quality of pharmaceutical companies also requires a licensed pharmacist certificate.

In a word, hard work will always pay off. I hope you will become a licensed pharmacist as soon as possible.

The reality is that the number of licensed pharmacists has increased, but the registration rate is still low, and the geographical distribution of licensed pharmacists is uneven. If you are not in a public institution, I still suggest that you have the energy to take the exam!

If pharmacists in public institutions are not recognized by hospitals, there is no need to pay for further education; Licensed pharmacist certificate is not allowed to be linked to pharmacy, which is not worth it! If there is a shortage of enterprise personnel and licensed pharmacists, it is also worthwhile.

1. With the advent of retail pharmacy classification, the gap of pharmacists has increased.

The classification of retail pharmacies has become a trend: the US Food and Drug Administration of Guangdong Province issued a notice on the Measures for the Classification and Grading Management of Drug Retail Enterprises (Trial). From April of 18 to April of 15, Guangdong Province will divide the approved business scope into Class I, Class II and Class III according to the setting conditions of pharmaceutical retail enterprises and the adaptability of pharmaceutical business scope and business scale, and the corresponding enterprises will be referred to as Class I respectively.

There are currently 470,000 pharmacies on the market. According to the latest policy, there are 4-5 pharmacies of Class I, II and III on average, and 100 licensed pharmacists are required for each area of drug business premises exceeding the opening standard of 1 00 square meter. According to the calculation of 4 people, the total number of * * * needs to be close to 2 million, 900,000 people have obtained the certificate, and only 400,000 people have registered. The market gap of licensed pharmacists is huge.

2, the new pharmacy must be equipped with two licensed pharmacists.

On September 20 17, the US Food and Drug Administration in Hefei issued the Interim Provisions on Strengthening the Supervision and Management of Drug Retail Enterprises in Hefei, requiring that a newly opened pharmacy should be equipped with two licensed pharmacists registered in this pharmacy, and their work units should be the same as those specified in the Licensed Pharmacist Registration Certificate. If there are Chinese herbal pieces in the business scope, it shall be equipped with licensed Chinese pharmacists.

This means that a pharmacy must be equipped with licensed pharmacists. Under the requirements of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", it is believed that relevant regulations will be introduced one after another in various places to ensure "one licensed pharmacist in one store", and the market demand for licensed pharmacists will reach a new high; Moreover, at present, the registered data of licensed pharmacists in China looks huge, but the gap is very large!

3. The main managers of retail pharmacies must be licensed pharmacists.

At the beginning of last year, the State Council issued the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Food Safety and the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Drug Safety, which mentioned that "by 2020, the level of drug quality and safety, the ability of drug safety management, the development level of pharmaceutical industry and people's satisfaction will be significantly improved."

"The service level of licensed pharmacists has improved significantly. There are more than 4 licensed pharmacists per 10,000 population. The main management personnel of all retail pharmacies are qualified as licensed pharmacists, and licensed pharmacists guide rational drug use in the course of operation. "

Not long ago, the US Food and Drug Administration in Guangdong issued the Measures for the Classification Management of Pharmaceutical Retail Enterprises (Trial), which also mentioned: "The legal representative or person in charge of the enterprise should have the qualification of licensed pharmacist (or licensed pharmacist)".

By the end of February 20 17, 18, the registered number of licensed pharmacists in China was 40843 1. At present, the average number of licensed pharmacists per 10,000 population is only 3.0, and the gap of licensed pharmacists has always existed.

4.20 17 licensed pharmacists reached a new high in recent years.

In 20 17, the number of applicants for the national licensed pharmacist qualification examination was 675 179, the actual reference number was 523,296, the reference rate was 77.50%, the qualified number was152,770, and the qualified rate was 29. 19%, which was about/higher than that of previous years.

The postponement of the 20 17 examination and the continuous improvement of the quality of candidates are certainly important factors, but the current market demand for licensed pharmacists is large, and the shortage of licensed pharmacists is also a cause that cannot be ignored.

From this, it can be inferred that 20 18 will have a large number of certificates, and the pass rate will not drop too low.

5. Pharmacist clinics appear frequently, and the role of pharmacists is enhanced.

At present, "pharmacist clinics" have appeared in Beijing, Heilongjiang, Guangdong and other provinces and cities. Pharmacists' clinics in Guangdong hospitals are mainly divided into three categories: joint pharmacists and doctors' clinics, comprehensive pharmacists' clinics and specialist pharmacists' clinics.

With the permission of hospitals and departments, and the drugs directly prescribed by clinical pharmacists are mostly basic conventional drugs, or the drugs prescribed by doctors for the first time, on the basis of communication and confirmation with hospitals, doctors "agree" the prescription right to clinical pharmacists, allowing clinical pharmacists to prescribe drugs for patients, that is to say, clinical pharmacists have the "prescription right by agreement".

The emergence of pharmacists' outpatient service has made licensed pharmacists go to clinic, and the role of pharmacists has been further enhanced.

6. Electronic prescriptions flow to pharmacies and can be sold after being reviewed by pharmacists.

Since March, the US Food and Drug Administration in Chongqing and the US Food and Drug Administration in Tianjin have successively issued policies for retail pharmacies to try out electronic prescriptions to sell prescription drugs (hereinafter referred to as the "electronic prescription pilot"). Previously, the policy was piloted sporadically in major cities across the country and Guangdong, but this year, there is a trend to accelerate the pilot.

In the short term, the most direct contribution of electronic prescription to pharmacies is to bring a large number of accurate passenger flow and increase the sales of prescription drugs. Some projects can increase the traffic of pharmacies by 2-3 times. In the long run, pharmacies can improve their service capabilities and promote diversified sales through Internet medical services, thus improving their operating efficiency.

Materials related to business operation and quality management that conform to the "Quality Management Standards for Drug Operation"; At the same time, according to the legal definition of electronic prescription given by the relevant documents of the Sichuan Provincial Health Planning Commission, electronic prescriptions first come from "hospitals with legal qualifications", and then are issued by "doctors with legal qualifications", transmitted to the terminal equipment of pharmacies through Internet information means, and can only be sold after being audited by licensed pharmacists in pharmacies. In other words, if there is no licensed pharmacist in the pharmacy, you can't sell drugs with electronic prescriptions.

7. Family pharmacists are included in the family doctor team.

The team of family doctors is responsible for the first consultation at the grassroots level and the management of chronic diseases. With the increasing professionalism of family doctors, it is essential for pharmacists to join. Family pharmacists who join the family doctor team may become a new profession.

Moreover, the country will soon issue the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Teachers of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It can be felt from the draft of Pharmacist Law that with the promulgation of Pharmacist Law, the professional rights of pharmacists will be further guaranteed and improved, and their social status will be gradually improved.

It's worthless My husband and wife each have a licensed pharmacist certificate and have been lying in the cupboard for many years.

I think it varies from person to person.

I have a licensed pharmacist's license, but I work in a hospital. I had a hard time getting this certificate. I read books every night shift. This certificate has not brought me any economic benefits so far. But there is an advantage, the unit will calculate whether you are a licensed pharmacist. Licensed pharmacists have to pay 200 yuan's continuing education fee every year. The hospital will reimburse you for this 200 yuan. Licensed pharmacists can get 20 credits for continuing education, which is better and the only benefit. Every year, doctors, nurses and pharmacists count credits. With these twenty minutes in hand, I won't worry too much.

My friend works in a pharmacy. It is said that it will be better to have a licensed pharmacist's license, at least in terms of salary. I will get two or three hundred dollars more than others every month.

Why does our hospital not reward licensed pharmacists, but everyone has to take this certificate? I think they want to leave another way out for themselves. In case they don't work in the unit or retire, it is easy to find a job.

Let's talk about the registration first. A few years ago may be ok, but these years are very strict. I was asked to register, but I refused. The people I know who have applied for a certificate have withdrawn their certificates several years ago. Don't have illusions.

If you are a graduate of Chinese medicine or pharmacy, it is recommended to try to get a certificate. Because whether it is useful or not in the future, at least it is a licensed pharmacist. If the policy changes in the future, it may be very popular. But now the gold content of licensed pharmacists is not high.

What does a pharmacist do? I believe many people will encounter this problem when they go to pharmacies to buy medicine. I don't know what medicine they should take for their illness. Then professional people are needed to solve the problem at this time. At this time, the role of licensed pharmacists appeared! So what is the prospect of licensed pharmacists?

Licensed pharmacists are in short supply.

It is understood that with the upcoming implementation of the newly revised Drug Administration Law and the gradual implementation of the drug classification management system, licensed pharmacists will play an increasingly important role in the field of drug production, management and use. Although the number of applicants is increasing year by year, there are still few talents in related fields. At the same time, the state now requires pharmacies selling prescription drugs to have registered licensed pharmacists. At the same time, if licensed pharmacists prescribe the right medicine, they will never feel dazzled when buying medicine in pharmacies in the future.

Undoubtedly, the gap of licensed pharmacists in China is huge. However, the passing rate of the annual licensed pharmacist examination is still very low, only 10%-20%. Due to the great adjustment of the 20 15 licensed pharmacist examination, the new syllabus was adopted and the subjects were added, and the teaching materials changed greatly, so people began to pay attention to clinical medication. The difficulty of medical I tends to be professional knowledge, while medical synthesis and medical II tend to be clinical application, which has become an obstacle to the examination, and the contents of pharmaceutical affairs management and regulations have also increased. This makes the actual difficulty of the exam greatly improved.

But the licensed pharmacist exam is still hot. On the one hand, it is due to the high gold content of licensed pharmacist qualification certificate. On the other hand, in order to stimulate the rapid growth of licensed pharmacists and meet the needs of society, the requirements of the state for the registration conditions of licensed pharmacists have been relatively loose. This means that most people have the opportunity to apply for the exam.

Education will be an important factor.

The licensed pharmacist qualification certificate seems to be of great benefit to pharmaceutical students. However, at present, only half of the licensed pharmacists are pharmaceutical (traditional Chinese medicine) professionals, and only 3 1.3% have bachelor degree or above. 20 16 the working points issued by the licensed pharmacist qualification certification center of China food and drug administration put forward to start the grading calibration of licensed pharmacists. Therefore, education may be an important factor in grading.

However, as the saying goes, what you get on paper is very shallow and you never know how to do it. There is a shortage of licensed pharmacists, but what is even more lacking is a qualified licensed pharmacist. The significance of textual research is to improve the ability, not a certificate to travel all over the world. Therefore, just passing the exam is not enough. If you want to survive better in this industry, you still need our unremitting efforts!

The purpose of taking the certificate determines whether it is worth it.

Value, it is worth using, but it is not worth using. If you develop in this industry, it is worthwhile. 800 yuan, a pharmacist on the job for more than a month, is the smallest city in Chaoyang, Liaoning, with a monthly salary of only 2,500. Do you think it is worth it? It doesn't matter whether it is worth putting in the cupboard after hard work. I'm sure I have a better job.
