The period from 1994 to 1998 can be said to be the primary stage of licensed pharmacist management. Here, the licensed pharmacist qualification system is only implemented in the field of pharmaceutical production and operation; The role and importance of licensed pharmacists have not received enough attention and extensive attention. The enthusiasm of pharmaceutical technicians to apply for licensed pharmacists was not high at one time, and the number of licensed pharmacists increased slowly. But this stage has laid an important foundation for the development of licensed pharmacist management in the future.

Following the 1996 policy of dual-subject examination for pharmaceutical personnel with senior titles, 1999 implemented the policy of reasonably reducing the working years of applicants and changing the examination period to two years. In the management of licensed pharmacists, the certification policy of licensed pharmacist qualification examination tends to be more scientific and reasonable, which has mobilized the enthusiasm of pharmaceutical technicians to apply for licensed pharmacists.
At this time, the growth of licensed pharmacists began to accelerate.

Some pharmaceutical retail chain enterprises in Shenzhen, Wuxi, Mianyang, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Beijing and Harbin became the first batch of pilot areas and enterprises.
The pilot work of classified management of prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs has sent a clear and strong signal to the industry: the worldwide classified management model of drugs will soon be implemented in China. Licensed pharmacists must ensure the quality of drugs and pharmaceutical services in the process of classified management and sales of drugs. At this point, the demand for the increase in the number of licensed pharmacists really arises.
At this time, the number of licensed pharmacists has further accelerated.
The Interim Provisions on the Circulation Management of Prescription Drugs and OTC Drugs, which came into effect on June 5438+1 October1,2000, regards licensed pharmacists as one of the important conditions for pharmacies to sell prescription drugs and OTC drugs, and further stipulates the responsibilities of licensed pharmacists in the retail business of prescription drugs and OTC drugs.

The role and status of licensed pharmacists have been recognized in laws and regulations for the first time. The demand for the increase in the number of licensed pharmacists has further increased.
At the same time, the policy of one-time examination for qualified pharmaceutical technicians in 2002, which was promulgated in July 20001year, was warmly welcomed and highly praised by pharmaceutical technicians in the medical and health field, which greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of pharmaceutical technicians to participate in the qualification certification of licensed pharmacists.
