The majority of respondents had more than 10 years of work experience (44%) and more than 3 years of intern training experience (48%). Internship supervisors highly rated the professional applicability and usefulness of the knowledge and skills learned in the disciplines of SPPL (60%), PC (72%) and MD (60%). According to them, the knowledge and skills acquired during the study are fully in line with the requirements of pharmacy practice as follows: 70% for SPPL, 64%, for PC and 72% for MD.
