Regarding the Current Professional Certificate, we would like to make the following clarifications:

In accordance with the provisions of the Pharmacy Law no. 266/2008 in the consolidated form as published in the Official Gazette no. 448/30.06.2009 Part I, as well as the Application Rules published in the Official Gazette no. 538/03.07.2009 Part I, pharmacists who will hold the position of chief pharmacist in a pharmacy unit (in cases of establishment of new pharmacy units, as well as changes of the chief pharmacist - for those who will take over the position), will address the county colleges to obtain the Current Professional Certificate.
