Current situation is not consistent to the
pre-requisites of quality pharmacy services..
A competent and capable practitioner workforce is an
essential pre-requisite for all health care professions.
To be able to provide quality pharmacy services is
dependent on the foundation of competence

Current status of TR
Submitted to the Executive Board for promulgation expected within the year 2015
“Included in the Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP) aimed at filling up INDUSTRIES and sectors for continuous supply of highly skilled and educated middle level work force”.
– Executive Director Marissa Legaspi
(Planning Office)
![Page 18: THE PHARMACY SUPPORT WORKFORCE SUMMIT - …memberfiles.freewebs.com/48/73/45877348/documents/Day 1B_L Oca… · THE PHARMACY SUPPORT WORKFORCE ... NC III in 2014. ... CORE SKILLS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5afd0f557f8b9aa34d8ceca7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hence, pharmacy sector
became priority for
scholarship and funding by
TESDA!
2014 General Appropriations Act mandates that technical vocational
programs/courses offered in the TWSP shall focus only on sectors and
industries that are considered KEY EMPLOYMENT GENERATOR
(KEG).

The pharmacist has lost his
professional standing primarily
because the patient cannot visualize
him as a tradesman and a
professional simultaneously.
The Dichter Report, 1973
![Page 22: THE PHARMACY SUPPORT WORKFORCE SUMMIT - …memberfiles.freewebs.com/48/73/45877348/documents/Day 1B_L Oca… · THE PHARMACY SUPPORT WORKFORCE ... NC III in 2014. ... CORE SKILLS](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022515/5afd0f557f8b9aa34d8ceca7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In the Philippines, Pharmacists are viewed as tradesmen
Why?
Because of how most of the pharmacy front liners
behave and service their clients; the dichotomy (as a
business and as a health center) in the practice of the
Pharmacy profession is not well understood.

Reason why the NEED for…
TRAINING OF THE PHARMACY
SUPPORT WORK FORCE
while
Re-enforcing Our Pharmacists To Stand on
Their Ground as Not Only Businessmen But
Also as Clinicians/Health Professionals

You and I must work to… Change the changeable, accept the unchangeable, and
