Are licensed pharmacists still useful today? What can I do after taking the exam?

Some people say that the licensed pharmacist certificate is useless, while others say that it has high gold content.

Why do some people say that the licensed pharmacist certificate is useless?

1. “How can I survive if the country cancels my affiliation?” To apply for a licensed pharmacist certificate is to lend your licensed pharmacist certificate to a pharmacy that needs to open a store, and post the position of resident pharmacist in the store, but you can work in other places. In fact, you occupy two positions, but you only work You can get two incomes from one job. Affiliation is now illegal, which means you can only open a pharmacy with a license.

2. "Don't take the test, it's useless! My certificate is at the bottom of the box." Netizens frequently express this sentiment, but if the pharmacist certificate is useless, why does the state still organize exams? Why has the state tightened its supervision of pharmacist licenses? If the pharmacist certificate was really useless, hundreds of thousands of people would not apply for it every year.

3. “The domestic market for licensed pharmacists is already saturated.” According to the editor's understanding, as of early December 2021, the cumulative number of registered pharmacists nationwide during the validity period was 640,000. On average, the number is actually small in each province and city.

So why is the licensed pharmacist certificate so valuable?

1. The gap is large. According to data from the Licensed Pharmacist Qualification Certification Center of the State Food and Drug Administration, as of the end of July 2020, the number of registered pharmacists nationwide was 551,924, and the number of licensed pharmacists per 10,000 people was 3.9. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of retail pharmacies in China, there is a huge gap of licensed pharmacists.

2. Personal tax can be deducted and professional titles can be assessed. Starting from 2019, in the continuing education of special personal tax deductions, the practicing pharmacist certificate has become a personal income tax deduction, and you can apply for a special personal tax deduction of 3,600 yuan per year. Secondly, when professional and technical personnel obtain the professional qualification of licensed pharmacist, they can be deemed to have the title of competent pharmacist or competent traditional Chinese medicine pharmacist, and this can be used as a condition for applying for a higher-level professional title.

3. Employment is guaranteed. People with certificates can go to pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies, or hospital pharmacies to practice as pharmacists. Secondly, the practicing pharmacist certificate is nationally recognized and is the only professional qualification certificate in the pharmaceutical industry. In recent years, the number of pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies has surged, and the demand for jobs has also increased. The national GSP policy stipulates that pharmaceutical companies must have licensed pharmacists.

4. Examination will become increasingly difficult in the future. The country is beginning to rectify the situation of drug abuse. The rectification measures include improving the academic qualifications, restricting majors, and strictly tightening the qualification review of licensed pharmacists, so the licensed pharmacist exam has become more difficult. The disadvantage of making the exam more difficult is that the passing rate will decrease, but the advantage is that the gold content of the certificate will increase.

Of course, the above is just my personal opinion, but it is better to have one less certificate than to have one more certificate to increase your competitiveness. Although it is difficult to verify, it is difficult to pass every pass. How can you appreciate the scenery on the other side of the mountain without climbing this mountain?
