Apotek merupakan sarana kesehatan yang berperan dalam upaya-upaya kesehatan, terutama untuk penyerahan obat dan perbekalan farmasi beserta informasinya kepada masyarakat. Apotek sebagai sarana yang bergerak di bidang jasa pelayanan harus mampu memberikan pelayanan kefarmasian secara tepat dan bermutu. Pelayanan kefarmasian yang dilakukan dalam apotek telah mengalami pergeseran orientasi dari obat ke pasien yang mengacu kepada Pharmaceutical Care. Sebagai konsekuensinya, apoteker dituntut meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan dan perilaku agar dapat melaksanakan interaksi langsung baik kepada pasien maupun kepada tenaga kesehatan lain. Praktek Kerja Profesi Apoteker (PKPA) dilakukan pada 23 September - 1 November 2013 di Apotek Atrika guna memberikan perbekalan bagi para calon apoteker untuk menerapkan ilmu yang telah dipelajari selama masa kuliah secara praktis dan langsung kepada pasien di apotek. Kegiatan PKPA tersebut memberikan pengetahuan langsung mengenai peran, fungsi dan tanggung jawab apoteker dalam pekerjaan kefarmasian di apotek serta memahami dan melaksanakan kegiatan pelayanan kefarmasian di apotek.
