Licensed pharmacists receive continuing education according to law, which is a necessary condition for licensed pharmacists to continuously improve their professional level, master the latest pharmaceutical theory and technical knowledge in time, maintain a high level of professional ethics and ability, and correctly perform their duties.
The continuing education of licensed pharmacists implements the credit system, project system and registration system. For those who have obtained the qualification of licensed pharmacists, the provincial (food) and drug administration will issue the Registration Certificate for Continuing Education of Licensed Pharmacists uniformly printed by the State Food and Drug Administration of the United States; Participate in continuing education for no less than 25 credits per year, and accumulate no less than 75 credits within 3 years after the expiration of registration. Continuing education programs for licensed pharmacists are divided into three categories: designation, guidance and self-study, including training, research, academic lectures, academic conferences, special seminars, special investigations, writing papers and monographs.
The State Food and Drug Administration of the United States is responsible for the measures for the administration of continuing education of licensed pharmacists, and organizing the formulation and examination and approval of the contents of continuing education. The provincial food and drug administration is responsible for the implementation of continuing education for licensed pharmacists in this area.
Second, how to continue education?
1. Generally, there will be a local notice before continuing education begins. Registered units will also understand some processes. In general, the local government will inform you how and where to deal with it.
2. If it is necessary to pay the continuing education fee, the specific fee information will be announced by the relevant departments, and the fee depends on the regulations of the relevant departments.
3. In some areas, continuing education may be taught face-to-face or online.
Three, related issues about continuing education credits
1. If you get a licensed pharmacist's license in the first year, you can register directly without continuing education. For example, in June 20 18, you will generally get the certificate around March 20 19. You need to register a licensed pharmacist on 20 19, and you don't need a continuing education certificate when you register.
2. You don't need to attend continuing education if you get a licensed pharmacist certificate, but when you want to register a few years later, the registration department will ask you to show your continuing education certificate after you get the certificate. Although the credits for continuing education can be replenished at present, it is necessary to register at the corresponding time period. In order to avoid the trouble of follow-up registration, it is recommended to insist on continuing education every year;
3, licensed pharmacists need to continue education every year after registration, and need to register again after three years.
Fourth, the solution of missing the continuing education and training of licensed pharmacists
Some candidates may have missed the continuing education and training of licensed pharmacists for various reasons. At this time, candidates can contact the local personnel examination center, licensed pharmacists association, food and drug administration and other continuing education departments for detailed consultation.
