Can a non-pharmacist be the director of pharmacy department?

No, the director of pharmacy department must be qualified as a pharmacist.

According to the regulations, the director of the pharmacy department of a hospital above the second level should be the leader of the hospital pharmacy discipline, with a bachelor's degree or above and a senior technical title in pharmacy; Therefore, it is unlikely that non-pharmacists want to be the director of pharmacy.

If you want to be the director of pharmacy, you can take the pharmacist qualification examination. To obtain a pharmacist qualification certificate, you need to have a college degree in pharmacy and Chinese medicine, have been engaged in pharmacy and Chinese medicine for five years, or have a bachelor's degree or bachelor's degree in pharmacy and Chinese medicine for three years. If you have a second bachelor's degree or master's degree in pharmacy or traditional Chinese medicine, you can get it after one year's work.

I hope it helps you.
