Coming to ur q..You cant use the title of pharmacist if ur not registered with Rx Board. Its the requirement set by our law.
In order to get registered basically u need to fulfill the training period + pass the pharmacy law exam. Without the registration technicallly u r not a pharmacist altho u have a B. pharm + m.clin pharm + PharmD


I do have frends who is a non-registered Rx but he's a lecturer. he's seems hepi bout it.

To add some info

for pharmacist working in the public sector the time based promotion is up to u54.
The formula is 3:4:4:3 years after one joins the service as a provisional registered pharmacist.
the order is u41-u44-u48-u52-u54. Beyond this point a differnet approach is used.
Although this in place do take note that

a) average of 3/4 consecutive annual performance review score must achieve the minimum scores for promo
b) promotion is still subjected to endorsement of lembaga kenaikan pangkat.
c) this time based promotion will be reviewed from time to time. There are possibilities that in future (not too soon hopefully) this scheme is scrapped. nothing is set in stone. The same goes for the allowance

P/s : those looking For payscale n allowance please use google and find out.

why you guys chose pharmacy ?
