Is the licensed pharmacist certificate useful? Is it high in gold content?

Judging from the difference in wages

Due to the large gap, practicing pharmacists are worth a lot of money. Generally speaking, the basic salary of a practicing pharmacist in a drugstore is five to six thousand, plus some commissions on the sales of medicines. Therefore, everyone rushes to take the exam to become a licensed pharmacist.

The basic salary of an ordinary drugstore salesperson is only more than one thousand or more than two thousand, plus commission from selling medicines. Therefore, the monthly salary of an ordinary salesperson may only be more than 3,000. An ordinary practicing pharmacist's monthly salary is at least six to seven thousand. The difference is three thousand to four thousand, so anyone who meets the conditions hopes to obtain the qualification of a licensed pharmacist.

Moreover, after passing the qualification certificate for practicing pharmacists, many people used to take the qualification certificates for affiliated services and earn a certain amount of income. However, there are relatively few such affiliations now, and most practicing pharmacists work in a pharmacy.

From the perspective of the prospects of the pharmacist industry

There is a large gap and unreasonable distribution of licensed pharmacists. The actual number of licensed pharmacists in some cities only accounts for one-third of the number of people in demand. Overall, The current situation that the professional ability needs to be improved has become a bottleneck for the further development of pharmaceutical business. The continuous increase in hospitals, pharmacies, and pharmacies has given the pharmacist talent market a satisfaction, and will also contribute to the continuous increase in the salary of licensed pharmacists!

The number of registered pharmacists has been on an upward trend. According to the National Food and Drug Administration According to a relevant notice from the Food and Drug Administration, as of the end of January 2018, the number of registered pharmacists nationwide was 412,543, an increase of 4,112 from the previous month. Currently, the average number of practicing pharmacists per 10,000 people is 3.0.

There are 365,629 licensed pharmacists registered in social pharmacies, accounting for 88.6% of the total number of registered pharmacists, an increase of 3,888 from the previous month. There are 35,156, 3,678, and 8,080 practicing pharmacists registered in drug wholesale enterprises, drug manufacturing enterprises, and medical institutions respectively.

From the perspective of national attention

The People’s Daily authoritatively evaluated 13 highly valuable qualification certificates, including the practicing pharmacist certificate; many places issued documents to combat the practice of practicing pharmacists’ certification; The Pharmacist Law has been included in the legislative plan of the National People's Congress; the Internet drug operation draft submissions require that online retail pharmacies must be equipped with licensed pharmacists; the pharmacies' hierarchical and classified management methods are officially implemented in Guangdong Province, and prescription drugs cannot be sold without licensed pharmacists... These policies all show that licensed pharmacists Examinations are constantly being taken seriously, and the improvement of their gold content is also a general trend.

From the perspective of the value of obtaining a licensed pharmacist certificate

A large part of the people who take the licensed pharmacist certificate exam are pharmacy owners, and more and more people have applied for the exam in recent years. They all know that they have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to other practicing pharmacists a year. In order to save the cost they have to pay every year, they might as well get a certificate themselves.

Zhou Fucheng, director of the Licensed Pharmacist Qualification Certification Center, pointed out: Overall, the number of licensed pharmacists in my country is no longer a big issue, and the quality issue is the top priority for the development of licensed pharmacists.

I believe that our country will soon raise the academic qualification requirements for practicing pharmacists. In the future, these people with certificates will be a small number of elites, and they will also be a small number of elites with extensive employment opportunities. As long as people still need to buy medicines, as long as pharmacies continue to open and pharmaceutical companies continue to operate, the promotion space for practicing pharmacists will be unlimited.
