I. Definition and comparison

Licensed pharmacist refers to the licensed pharmacist qualification system implemented by the state in the field of Chinese medicine production and circulation. Enterprises and institutions engaged in the production and business activities of traditional Chinese medicine (Chinese herbal medicines, proprietary Chinese medicines, Chinese herbal pieces, Chinese herbal health products) must be equipped with qualified pharmacists in their key positions;

Licensed western pharmacist refers to the title established for pharmaceutical professionals in China's personnel title system. According to the promotion level, they are Western Pharmacist, Western Pharmacist Supervisor, Western Pharmacist Deputy Director and Western Pharmacist Supervisor. In the student stage, people with the title of western pharmacist study pharmacy (commonly known as western medicine), mainly engaged in professional and technical work of western medicine.

Second, the examination content comparison

Licensed Chinese pharmacists and licensed western pharmacists have different examination subjects except the public subjects of pharmaceutical affairs management and regulations.

The examination subjects of licensed western pharmacists are: pharmaceutical professional knowledge, pharmaceutical professional knowledge, pharmaceutical comprehensive knowledge and skills;

The examination subjects for licensed pharmacists are: professional knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, professional knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and comprehensive knowledge and skills of traditional Chinese medicine.

So here comes the question

1. Is it necessary for licensed pharmacists to take double certificates?

For a group of cases, it is enough to hold a licensed pharmacist certificate. Whether it is one or two, it is a stepping stone. If you want to go further and further in this industry and make more achievements, you must keep learning and making progress. The road to medicine requires us to live and learn.

As for how much money the two certificates can bring, it still depends on the strength. Of course, if you have enough time and energy, it is also good to take the double certificate exam, which will definitely have greater advantages. Double certificates are not only conducive to the improvement of pharmacists' professional quality, but also make them successful in many aspects.

2. Will the treatment of two licensed pharmacists be higher?

At present, pharmacies employ licensed pharmacists, largely because of the clear requirements of national policies. Pharmacies need licensed pharmacists, and there will be no major changes in wages and benefits.

3. Which is better, a licensed Chinese pharmacist or a licensed western pharmacist?

There is not much difference in essence. Many people think that western pharmacists are difficult to test, while Chinese pharmacists are easy to test. According to the national requirements for pharmacies, each pharmacy must be equipped with a Chinese pharmacist's license, not necessarily a western pharmacist's license. However, if there are only western pharmacists, they must be equipped with Chinese pharmacist witnesses. In other words, licensed Chinese pharmacists are more competitive than licensed western pharmacists.

4. I was admitted to a licensed Chinese pharmacist this year. Can I be admitted to a licensed western pharmacist next year?

Yes, as long as you can apply for and refer to one of the licensed Chinese (Western) pharmacists, you can apply for another one next year.

Only one subject of western medicine (or Chinese medicine) will be tested this year, so can the other three subjects of Chinese medicine (or western medicine) be tested in the same year?

No, if you take the exam again, you need to re-register as a new candidate.

6. Do I need to apply for pharmacy management and regulations repeatedly if I want to take the double certificate test?

Yes, licensed Chinese pharmacists and licensed western pharmacists are two different kinds of pharmacist certificates, and they must pass four subjects completely.

7. I have been admitted as a licensed pharmacist of Chinese medicine this year, and I will be admitted as a western medicine next year. Do you want to review it again?

Yes, whether you pass this year or not, you will have to take the exam again next year.

8. Can Chinese medicine licensed pharmacists and western medicine licensed pharmacists be registered?

Yes, but you need to register in the same practice place, that is, you can't register in a shop and b shop at the same time, nor can you register in a city and b city.

9. I have two licensed pharmacists' certificates. How to arrange continuing education?

Practice categories are divided into pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine, pharmacy and traditional Chinese medicine. Persons who hold the Qualification Certificate of Licensed Pharmacist in People's Republic of China (PRC) and whose major is Pharmacy and Chinese Medicine may apply for the registration certificate of licensed pharmacist (Pharmacy and Chinese Medicine). Re-registered students must complete the compulsory, elective and self-study contents of continuing education every year, 15 credits. In other words, after the double certificate, we are pharmacy and traditional Chinese medicine, and we only need one copy for further education.

The above questions are related to the arrangement of medical education network. I hope it can help the candidates who are preparing for the 20 19 licensed pharmacist exam. I think this article is good and can be shared with people who have the same problem around them. I wish the candidates a smooth pass!
