增设执业助理药师资格的必要性与可行性探讨

Discussion on the Necessity and Feasibility of Setting Up the Qualification of Licensed Assistant Pharmacists

目的:为完善我国执业药师资格制度、推进《执业药师法》立法提供参考。方法:介绍我国执业药师制度的实施现状,结合我国执业助理医师制度和美国药房技术人员资格制度的实施经验,阐述我国增设执业助理药师的必要性和可行性。结果与结论:当前我国执业药师数量短缺、资格准入门槛较低、初级(助理级)药学技术人员执业资格缺乏规范、《执业药师法》缺位,有必要借鉴我国执业助理医师资格制度和美国药房技术员资格制度的实际做法,增设执业助理药师。建议从明确执业助理药师的定义和工作职责、确定考试认定范围和资格准入条件等方面入手,由此推进《执业药师法》立法。

OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for improving licensed pharmacist qualification system and the legislation of Licensed Pharmacist Law in China. METHODS：The implementation of licensed pharmacist system in China was introduced;based on the experience of licensed assistant physician system in China and pharmacy technician qualification system in USA,the necessity and feasibility of setting up licensed assistant pharmacist were interpreted. RESULTS CONCLUSIONS：At present,it is necessary to draw lessons from licensed assistant physician system in China and pharmacy technician qualification system in USA and set up licensed assistant pharmacist because of the shortage of licensed pharmacist,low threshold of qualification admittance,non-standard licensed qualification of primary（assistant）pharmacy technician,absence of Licensed Pharmacist Law. It is recommended to promote the legislation of Licensed Pharmacist Law through clearing the definition and responsibility of licensed assistant pharmacist,confirming examination scope and the threshold of qualification admittance,etc.
