Keynote Presentation Delivered at Watsons Health Convention for Pharmacists 

By Asst. Prof. Rungpetch Sakulbumrungsil, 

President of the FAPA College of Pharmacy 

Many pharmacists across Asia develop advanced expertise that is not fully recognized by licensure alone. While many established specialization systems have a strong clinical and hospital focus,

pharmacy practice in Asia is broader, spanning community pharmacy, industry, regulatory affairs, public health, quality, manufacturing, and other areas. FAPA CP addresses this need through a three-level career progression framework—Assistant Fellow, Associate Fellow, and Fellow—aligned with global standards while reflecting the diversity of Asian pharmacy practice. Pharmacists can progress while continuing to work, through either structured training and supervised practice or an experiential pathway based on documented professional achievements. This creates a clear routefor professional advancement and international recognition, while helping organizations develop and retain talent and strengthen pharmacy services across the region.
