The rank is determined by the Federal President with the order of the Federal President on the rank designations and the uniform of the soldiers on the basis of the Soldiers Act .

Positions

Chief pharmacists hold prominent top service positions in the medical services of the Bundeswehr , which are only achieved by very few pharmacists. Chief pharmacists can head a department or department at one of the monitoring bodies for public law tasks (in particular the monitoring body south with a focus on food chemistry and pharmacy ), and more rarely also the Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology , one of the central institutes of the medical service (in particular the institute in Munich with a focus on Pharmacy and food chemistry). A chief pharmacist also gives a lecture at the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology and Use of the Bundeswehr . In the Military Medicine Unit of the Armed Forces Base Command and in Sub-Department X “Equipment, Logistics and Protection Tasks” in the Medical Service Command of the Bundeswehr , chief pharmacists are responsible for the logistics planning for the medical supplies. The supply and repair centers for medical supplies are also partly managed by chief pharmacists. The highest technical superior in the field of military pharmacy is the stage manager military pharmacy of the Bundeswehr with the rank of chief pharmacist.

appointment

The same legal principles and requirements, for example with regard to minimum length of service, career affiliation and employment relationship, apply to the appointment as chief pharmacist or employment with this rank as for senior officers . Instead of a license to practice as a doctor or dentist 's license to practice as a pharmacist and the state examination for food chemists requirement. If you are hired as a chief pharmacist, a qualification as a specialist pharmacist is required instead of being approved as a regional or specialist doctor .

The rank badge for senior pharmacists is essentially the same as for senior doctors . A career badge in the form of a modified Aesculapian staff is used to distinguish the chief pharmacists . In the career badge for pharmacists, the snake winds twice over a pharmacist bowl (around a not shown or imaginary stick).

history

The rank was newly created with the sixth order of the Federal President on the rank designations and the uniform of soldiers from May 5, 1966.

Others

With regard to the power of command in terms of troop service and technical matters within the meaning of the Superiors Ordinance and Military Disciplinary Code , with regard to equivalent, subordinate and superordinate ranks within the meaning of ZDv 14/5 and with regard to salary , the chief pharmacist is on an equal footing with the senior physician . Only those wearing army and air force uniforms hold the rank of chief pharmacist; the equivalent rank for naval uniform wearers is fleet pharmacist . In the order of promotion to be passed regularly according to the Soldiers' Career Ordinance and ZDv 20/7, the previous rank is the senior pharmacist . For medical officers specializing in military pharmacy, the chief pharmacist is the highest rank that can be achieved; promotion to the higher rank of general pharmacist is not (no longer) planned in practice.
