Pendidikan profesi apoteker menjadi faktor yang sangat penting dalam upaya memenuhi kebutuhan apoteker yang professional. Apoteker sebagai salah satu pelaku pelayanan kesehatan, khususnya pelayanan kefarmasian harus memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan yang handal, serta integritas etika/moral untuk mendukung terwujudnya pelayanan kefarmasian yang bermutu. Dalam rangka peningkatan profesionalisme apoteker, baik calon apoteker maupun apoteker yang telah praktik, diperlukan pelatihan terstruktur yang dapat membangun pengetahuan, keterampilan serta sikap professional sebagai seorang apoteker yang berkualitas. Pelatihan terstruktur yang dimaksud dalam dokumen ini dapat dalam bentuk praktik kerja apoteker (PKPA) bagi calon apoteker. Pada kali ini, Praktik Kerja Profesi Apoteker dilaksanakan di PT Kalbio Global Medika periode Januari – Februari 2022 dan Apotek Roxy Sawangan periode Mei 2022. Melalui proses PKPA di bidang industri farmasi dan pelayanan apotek, calon apoteker diharapkan mampu memperoleh wawasan, pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan pengalaman yang sesuai untuk melakukan pekerjaan kefarmasian.

Professional pharmacist education is a very important factor in an effort to meet the needs of professional pharmacists. Pharmacists, as one of the actors in health services, especially pharmaceutical services, must have reliable knowledge and skills, as well as ethical and moral integrity to support the realization of quality pharmaceutical services. In order to increase the professionalism of pharmacists, both prospective pharmacists and pharmacists who have built a career, structured training is needed that can be used for knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes as a qualified pharmacist. The structured training referred to in this document can be in the form of pharmacist work (PKPA) for prospective pharmacists. This time, the Pharmacist Professional Work Practice was held at PT Kalbio Global Medika for the January–February 2022 period and at Roxy Sawangan Pharmacy for the May 2022 period. Through the PKPA process in the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacy services, prospective pharmacists are expected to be able to gain insight, knowledge, skills, and appropriate experience to perform pharmaceutical work.
