Maintaining constant training corresponds to a need derived from the permanent change that surrounds the professional work area as future pharmacists. We are responsible for nourishing ourselves with new knowledge and experience, in order to perform whatever tasks professional or otherwise must be done daily. Therefore, when constantly learning we can be more productive, minimize errors and professional risks, and also give us the opportunity to create a better environment in the pharmaceutical care we deliver to our patients.

In October 2021, the ANEQyF – Chile board of directors began conversations with the representatives of “ALTAIR Capacitaciones'' , a company that is dedicated to teaching improvement courses, mainly aimed at professionals in the health area. “ALTAIR Capacitaciones'' was created in 2019 by a team made up of pharmaceutical chemical professionals and accountant auditors.

To date, they have taught courses on primary health care, regulatory affairs, pharmaceutical marketing, import and registration of cosmetic products, among others.

As a result of meetings held by the board of directors of ANEQyF Chile and “ALTAIR Capacitaciones'' , a mutual agreement was reached where student members of ANEQyF would be able to count on a limited amount of 100% scholarships for the courses taught by “ALTAIR Capacitaciones” .

The scholarship application process was carried out through an application form, in which students answered questions about the extracurricular activities they carried out and their motivations for applying for the scholarship of the course offered.

The applications were reviewed by the BOARD OF DIRECTORS of ANEQyF, looking for the profiles that were closest to the context of the training. Scholarship students were contacted via email and asked to confirm their intention to participate.

Finally, the scholarship students were announced through the official Instagram of ANEQyF Chile.
