MyPSA Educational Trip Series 2023: Community Pharmacy

MyPSA Educational Trip Series 2023 is an event organised by the MyPSA Education Officer and  MyPSA Networking Officer. Pharmacy students can learn a great deal through this educational trip because it provides real-life experience. It is true that an educational trip is an ideal combination of sightseeing, learning, travelling, and hands-on exploration opportunities. In part, these trips contribute substantially to pharmacy students’ cognitive development because they allow them to observe authentic things beyond theory by experiencing them and observing them. Obviously, there is no better way to learn something than to see it or do it for yourself.

On educational trips, pharmacy students can interact with other students from 20 local universities in Malaysia. It gives them a chance to gain new perspectives and gain insight from complete strangers with different opinions. In addition to developing professional skills, students can learn about local customs and build confidence. It’s important to note that educational trips create a lot of different types of learning styles for pharmacy students and are excellent teaching tools. It is not as simple as lecturing in the classroom. Educational field trips are indispensable in learning and thus the mode of trips should be encouraged and developed.
