Abstract

Objective To rationally allocate pharmaceutical and healthcare human resources, and to explore the feasibility of implementing the system of licensed assistant pharmacists in retail pharmacies.

Methods Through literature review, questionnaire surveys, and statistical analysis of exam scores, the training status of pharmacy technicians with secondary vocational education, the employment situation in retail pharmacies, and the results of the licensed pharmacist qualification examination were deeply understood.

Results Every year, a certain number of graduates with a secondary vocational education in pharmacy entered society, and retail pharmacies were willing to recruit pharmacy technicians with this educational background, their professional competence were recognized. Pharmacy technicians with secondary vocational education can obtain the professional qualification of practicing pharmacists through hard work, and demonstrated the basic competency for working as licensed assistant pharmacists.

Conclusion The implementation of the licensed assistant pharmacist system among pharmacy technicians with secondary vocational education in retail pharmacies is feasible. This system can fully leverage the role of pharmacy technicians with secondary vocational education, make up for the shortage of professional personnel in certain regions, promote the construction of the pharmaceutical care system in retail pharmacies, and ensure drug quality and medication safety.
