The main role of this industry is to produce medicines that must meet the requirements of efficacy, safety, and quality in doses used for health purposes. To ensure the quality of pharmaceutical products, the Indonesian government, through the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM), has established standards for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Pharmacists must have adequate knowledge, skills, and abilities, and be able to apply and develop their knowledge professionally. Objective: The Pharmacist Professional Work Practice (PKPA) at PT.
