The training material was then tested to assess its feasibility in the community pharmacy in 3 cities, i.e. Yogyakarta, Solo and Semarang city for a period of one month. Data analysis was done by assessing in the learning process using enumerate methods. Result: Based on the supervisors’ and students’ reflection, the initiating trigger case is suitable with the daily activities of pharmaceutical care in the community pharmacy, lead them to improve their ability in problem solving, more confident in decision making process, and easier in networking with other health care profession. It indicates that the learning process is feasible to be used, however in part of pharmacy management, it was identified as complicated.
