The role of pharmacists in Indonesia is still being questioned due to the lack of pharmacists in pharmaceutical services. Changes in the orientation of pharmaceutical services make the role of pharmacists very important which will give rise to various perceptions from the public. It is very important to assess community awareness, perceptions, experiences and expectations to measure the quality of pharmaceutical services provided by pharmacists. This research will identify and analyze awareness, perceptions of expectations and community experiences regarding the contribution of pharmacists in pharmaceutical services in pharmacies. Method: Using a purposive sampling technique, this non-experimental research involved 300 pharmacy visitors as participants to observe the phenomena that occurred.
