OBJECTIVE To provide reference for improving the continuing education management for licensed pharmacists in China. METHODS By searching related policies ，notices and documents of continuing education of licensed pharmacists in various provinces in China ，the retrieval time limit was from the implementation of the licensed pharmacist qualification access system in 1994 to December 31，2021. The organizational structure ，implementation status and problems of continuing education management for licensed pharmacists in 31 provinces were analyzed to put forward the suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS At present ， the management subjects of continuing education for licensed pharmacists in China at the national level are still unclear ，and the management subjects of continuing education at the local level are mostly provincial drug administration and （licensed）pharmacist association，and some are pharmaceutical societies ，so the management system needs to be straightened out. At present ，most provinces have selected teaching institutions through public bidding ，basically realize the separation of discipline ，but the openness and transparency of selection standards need to be strengthened. In addition ，there are still some problems ，such as teaching content and methods need to be enriched and optimized ，and insufficient funds guarantee in most areas. It is suggested to clarify the division of responsibilities for the continuing education management of licensed pharmacists in China ，improve the management of teaching institutions ，enrich the teaching contents and forms of continuing education of licensed pharmacists ，and ensure the management funds of continuing education of licensed pharmacists.
