1. Credit requirements:
Licensed pharmacists need to participate in a certain number of learning activities every year and get corresponding credits. You can earn credits by attending academic conferences and seminars related to pharmacy, completing online learning courses or participating in scientific research projects. According to the regulations of Yamatonokusushi Association in different regions, pharmacists usually need to accumulate certain credits within one year.
2. Training requirements:
Licensed pharmacists need to participate in professional training regularly to update their knowledge and skills. These trainings can be organized by hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, pharmacists associations and other institutions, covering drug treatment, new drug research and development, and updating clinical practice guidelines. Training can be in the form of face-to-face lectures and seminars, online courses, or even participation in clinical practice projects.
3. Examination requirements:
Licensed pharmacists need to take regular exams to evaluate their professional level. The examination contents generally include pharmaceutical knowledge survey, drug treatment guide, clinical practice guide and so on. The examination can be organized by relevant pharmacists' associations or government agencies, and is usually divided into two parts: written examination and oral examination. Pharmacists need to pass the exam to obtain the qualification to continue practicing.
4. Requirements for continuing education:
Licensed pharmacists need continuing education in addition to credit requirements, training requirements and examination requirements. Continuing education means that pharmacists constantly improve their professional level by learning new knowledge, skills and the latest drug treatment guidelines. Pharmacists can continue their education by attending academic conferences, reading academic journals and carrying out clinical practice.
5. The importance of continuous learning:
The requirement for licensed pharmacists to continue their study is to ensure the continuous improvement of their professional level and professionalism.
