Organized by the Advocacy Office of MyPSA in collaboration with the Malaysian Pharmacists Society (MPS), and Pharmaceutical Services Programme of Ministry of Health Malaysia, this two-day national workshop was specially designed to prepare pharmacy students and graduates for the Qualifying Examination to Practice Pharmacy (QEPP), an essential requirement set by the Pharmacy Board of Malaysia (PBM) for pharmacist registration. The tutorial aimed to equip participants with a strong foundation in pharmacy law, ethics, and policy, while offering effective exam-taking strategies to boost confidence and performance.

Participants registered online before joining the sessions, with attendance managed smoothly through QR codes and Google Forms. The program began with welcoming remarks from the organizing committee, followed by an overview of the tutorial objectives.

On the first day, participants delved into the Poisons Act 1952 and its Regulations by Puan Fauziah, the Sale of Drugs Act 1952 and its Regulations by Dr. Nurul Hayati, and the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and its Regulations by Puan Nurhazwani.
