While looking on the PRC website and browsing the exam results section i was amused on what i found. On the drop down menu of the different exam result there is such an item called “Chinese Druggist” although there is no particular exam date or other additional data about it, i was curious if indeed it is a PRC exam. Looking at it carefully , maybe it is a typo error. I also found such exam name like: Major Patron, Minor Patron and HBRL Patron.
