Under the theme "Covid-19 Education, Hand Sanitizer Production, and Proper Handwashing Education to Empower Students as Junior Pharmacists at UPT SDN 060796," the lecturers introduced the pharmacist profession, medicines, and the key aspects of medicine use: Obtain, Use, Store, and Dispose (Dagusibu).
According to the team leader, Dra. Singgar Ni Rudang, M.Si., Apt., the activity was conducted using the Active Learning Method (CBSA). Participants were divided into groups to facilitate discussions, express opinions, ask questions, and learn independently and actively.
