Pharmacy management is a branch of pharmacy. Its research and education focus on the application of social, behavioral, management and legal sciences to study the nature and influence of the environment in which professional services are completed in pharmaceutical practice.

Abstract editor

Pharmaceutical management is an interdisciplinary subject, involving law, management and economics. The law is to guide China to gradually enter the legal society. In the process of law enforcement, the US Food and Drug Administration must carry out relevant supervision activities according to legal authorization and legal procedures. The course of pharmaceutical affairs management is based on management and economics, and its other feature is that it must learn from the analytical methods of economics and management, which is different from other traditional pharmaceutical theory courses (pharmacy, pharmaceutical analysis, pharmacology, etc.). It is also different from ordinary economics and management, and it is an organic combination of the two. An important content of pharmaceutical affairs management is to analyze some problems in the pharmaceutical field with the methods of management and economics. The discipline of pharmaceutical affairs management has obvious social attributes, involving all levels of medical undertakings and closely related to medical activities. Without the constraints of pharmaceutical affairs management, pharmaceutical activities cannot be carried out in an orderly, standardized, fair and legal manner. Any pharmaceutical worker can't do without the guidance of this subject.

Historical editor

In18th century BC, the Babylonian Hammurabi dynasty in Cuba issued a cuneiform decree, which contained two provisions to punish medicine for causing death and disability. In 1 1 century BC, the six palaces system was established in the Western Zhou Dynasty in China. The doctors under the control of Tiangong were "the first of all doctors, ... in charge of many doctors' decrees, collecting poison as medicine." /kloc-in the 3rd century, a series of health laws promulgated by Frederick II of Sicily in Europe stipulated that pharmacy management should be separated from drug management. 1407, the Pharmacist Law promulgated by Genoa City was the earliest legal professional standard for pharmacists. 1683, the blue city issued a law prohibiting doctors from dispensing medicines for patients. 1546, the first code of western countries appeared in Germany. 16 17, the London Pharmacists Association was founded, which marked the establishment of the pharmaceutical profession in Europe and the expansion of pharmaceutical management.

Drug management in China

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the management of drugs in China was mainly restricted by adjusting policies and issuing orders. For example, drugs were banned in the 1950s, and cases of abuse of ephedrine and caffeine sodium were banned in the 1960s. During the Cultural Revolution, drug management was regarded as "management, restraint and oppression", and a set of established and effective drug management laws and regulations were abolished. In the 1980s, China strengthened the supervision and management of drugs. In July 1985, China implemented the Drug Administration Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).

1985 10 an introduction to pharmaceutical administration, edited by Zhang Jingyu and Wang Yuxiang, was published by Beijing Military Medical School as an internal information exchange. Prior to this, there was no monograph on pharmaceutical administration in China, and pharmaceutical administration was not studied as a science. The editor of this book regards pharmaceutical administration as a science and refers to relevant literature, trying to summarize the basic contents and methods of pharmaceutical administration from the aspects of management, history, pharmacy, medicine and law. The first article of this book calls "pharmaceutical administration" "pharmaceutical administration".

1February, 988, Zhang Jingyu and Wang Yuxiang edited Practical Pharmaceutical Management (People's Military Medical Press ISBN: ISBN 7-80020-044). 2/R.43)。 This paper summarizes the basic contents and methods of drug supervision and management from six aspects: pharmaceutical affairs management, drug management, special drug management, drug selection, drug approval and legal supervision, so as to provide reference for personnel engaged in drug production, drug management, hospital pharmacy, drug inspection and pharmaceutical affairs management and teachers and students in medical colleges.

1In August, 988, Li et al. edited the book Pharmaceutical Administration (People's Health Publishing House ISBN: ISBN 7-117-00632-3). Focusing on the social and management principles of pharmacy, the author summarizes the brief history of pharmaceutical management and the basic principles, contents and methods of modern management, and briefly introduces the relevant situation and experience abroad.

Since then, pharmaceutical affairs management has attracted the attention of educational circles. West China University of Medical Sciences took the lead in setting up a teaching and research group on pharmaceutical affairs management and began to teach pharmaceutical affairs management. Later, pharmaceutical colleges and universities also opened the same courses one after another, and a large number of articles and papers on pharmaceutical affairs management emerged. The Ministry of Health took advantage of the trend and founded chinese pharmaceutical affairs magazine, which set up a communication platform for people studying pharmaceutical affairs management.

Status editor

Pharmaceutical management is developed with the development and needs of China's pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical Administration is a new frontier discipline between pharmacy, law and management, which rose in China in the early 1980s. It involves a series of related disciplines, such as sociology, psychology, economics, law, etc. It has a wide range of knowledge and strong application, which is quite different from other professional courses in pharmacy. Its goal is to organize, guide, coordinate and supervise the research, production, management and use of drugs through scientific management, that is, to achieve the best treatment and prevention of diseases under the best conditions with reasonable human, financial and material inputs, thus improving people's health level.

Professional course editor

Pharmaceutical Administration is a specialized course of higher pharmacy. The teaching purpose of this course is to enable students to master Yamatonokusushi's responsibility and code of conduct, laws and regulations on pharmaceutical affairs management, be familiar with the quality assurance and control of drug development, production, circulation and use, clarify the relationship between drug safety, effectiveness and management, and understand the basic knowledge of pharmaceutical sociality and management and the development trend of pharmaceutical affairs management under the situation of economic globalization.

Pharmaceutical affairs management involves a wide range of contents and has strong application. With the establishment of China's socialist market economic system and the gradual improvement of the legal system, the legal management procedures and systems of drug supervision are increasingly strengthened. China's laws and regulations on pharmaceutical affairs management are in the stage of continuous revision and improvement, and they are updated rapidly, which makes the contents of pharmaceutical affairs management textbooks relatively backward. In order to implement some newly promulgated drug laws and regulations, it is necessary to constantly improve and supplement the compilation of teaching materials for pharmaceutical affairs management.

Learning method editing

The first question: What is pharmaceutical affairs management?

Originally, I didn't want to list this question, which would make it appear that the person who asked the question didn't like to think, and it would also surprise some people who had experienced the emotional intelligence of their younger brothers and sisters, and even come to the conclusion that "the person who asked this question should not apply for the postgraduate of pharmaceutical administration". However, there are many similar questions in my inbox. This kind of problem worries me. Because, at least, if you spend more time writing emails, you will find that this introduction is very rich and the information you get will be far richer than one of my emails. Whenever I receive such a question, I have to admire Mr Shi Hanbing's patience. During his stay in Weibo, he has been insisting on answering various questions from thousands of netizens, some of which are naturally similar to those raised by "lazy people". I have been expecting that reading these words I have written will bring you more hard-to-get information, thus helping you to think, cultivate your thinking mode and make choices. Happily, in my letters, I occasionally find some problems very profound, and even some problems are gradually understood after I entered the graduate school for more than a year. Congratulations to such a classmate!

The second question: should I apply for pharmaceutical affairs management?

What kind of students are suitable for pharmaceutical affairs management? This question has been asked by many schoolmates who wrote to me. In many universities of science and engineering, pharmaceutical administration, as a specialized course of pharmaceutical engineering, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine and other majors, was not offered until junior year. Therefore, many students are not very clear about what kind of students are suitable for graduate students in this field. Since I talked about this in the first letter and the eighth letter, of course, there are still many things that have not been involved, and I don't want to say more now.

The third kind of question: how to learn the subject of pharmaceutical administration well?

Management is an art, so is pharmacy management. Since it is art, it is naturally not easy to learn. Many times, I think remembering a few principles or regulations can express my views on problems, but I often only learn a little, see the tip of the iceberg, and can't form a system. As for learning methods, I have talked about this topic in my first, fifth and tenth letters. Although not deep enough, it may be beneficial.

The fourth question: How is the internship/employment?

Among the ten letters I wrote, several talked about some topics of internship and employment, but they were not systematic. I was going to write a systematic thing on this topic, do some analysis and give some suggestions. But after thinking about it, I gave up. First, although I started looking for a job recently and attended some job fairs, I still don't know much about the employment of this major, fearing that the analysis is too one-sided. Second, I still hope that students can establish their own framework and find their own employment direction through their own analysis. We can still talk about the internship. Generally speaking, the internship directions of graduate students in pharmaceutical affairs management are: market access (such as pharmacoeconomics, government affairs, bidding, etc. ), registration and new drug project approval, clinical monitoring, pharmaceutical industry consulting, sales, other categories (such as related positions in some institutions) and so on. I don't want to spend too much ink on how to get these internship information. I believe in your information-gathering ability, and I just want to talk about my own ideas on how to choose an internship.
