Apoteker memiliki peran penting di industri farmasi, rumah sakit, pemerintahan, distributor farmasi dan apotek. Sebelum memasuki dunia kerja dan menjalani praktik profesi, apoteker diharuskan untuk dapat memenuhi standar kompetensi apoteker Indonesia yang terdiri dari sepuluh standar kompetensi. Standar kompetensi tersebut merupakan kemampuan yang diharapkan dimiliki oleh seorang apoteker saat lulus dan masuk ke tempat praktik kerja profesi.
