The licensed pharmacist has started to evaluate the deputy chief pharmacist

"Our company has also started to apply for the senior professional title review

Licensed pharmacist, began to evaluate the deputy chief pharmacist

At the end of last month, the Hunan Provincial Food and Drug Administration issued two documents one after another.

According to the "Measures", the professional titles of pharmacy (non-clinical units) are divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and senior.

At the same time, the "Measures" emphasizes that obtaining the professional qualifications of licensed pharmacists directly recognizes that they have the title of competent pharmacist or competent Chinese pharmacist as a condition for applying for deputy chief pharmacist (deputy chief Chinese pharmacist)

A few days later, Li Jun, a licensed pharmacist in the Hunan headquarters of Yifeng Pharmacy, told the author in surprise that his company had also started to apply for the evaluation of senior titles, and he had also signed up to participate

He also mentioned that the Hunan Province document was available last year

Technical title evaluation, or new changes

When the document was first released, the author consulted a number of licensed pharmacists to discuss the significance of licensed pharmacists’ review of senior titles

Investigating the reason, Li Zuobiao, a licensed pharmacist from Fuzhou University of Fujian Province, pointed out that the general consensus is that the level of licensed pharmacists is uneven.

"The examination of licensed pharmacists belongs to the professional access system, and the technical title is a technical evaluation system.

"Two different systems.

He further talked about why technical titles were used in the past because the differences in technical personnel's academic qualifications were too great, and the qualifications could not prove the technical level of a technical assessment measure

Of course, the current domestic situation is also changing

Clear texts in many places, licensed pharmacists can be evaluated as senior titles

In March 2019, the "Provisions on the Professional Qualification System for Licensed Pharmacists" jointly issued by the State Food and Drug Administration and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security clarified that professional and technical personnel who have obtained the professional qualifications of licensed pharmacists can be recognized as having the title of competent pharmacist or competent Chinese pharmacist, and It can be used as a condition for applying for a higher-level professional title

This also means that as long as the professional qualification of licensed pharmacist is obtained, the starting point is the title of supervisor (Chinese) pharmacist, and according to his ability and level, it can be further assessed as a higher-level professional title

Of course, judging from the current situation, it is not only Hunan Province that has begun to implement such a review system.

As early as 2019, the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Evaluation of Professional Titles in Our Province's Pharmaceutical Industry in 2019" issued by the Guangdong Provincial Food and Drug Administration talked about the effective connection with the national licensed pharmacist examination professional qualification system

Last year, the Jiangsu Provincial Food and Drug Administration issued the "Notice on Submitting the Application Materials for the Evaluation of Advanced Professional Technical Qualifications for Pharmacy (Drugs) in 2021"
.
The notice pointed out that the scope and targets of the application are professional and technical personnel who are engaged in drug research and development, production, operation, supervision, and inspection in enterprises, institutions or social organizations in the province and meet relevant regulations and requirements
.

The author combed and found that currently Hubei, Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Sichuan, Fujian, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hainan, Beijing and other provinces have issued documents to affirm the value of licensed pharmacists, match the qualifications with the title, and obtain the license.
Pharmacist qualifications can be recognized as the title of competent pharmacist
