	Abstract

The Integrated Pharmacy Skills laboratory is a laboratory-based approach to many different aspects of pharmacy education. As diabetes is one of the most common disease states in the United States, it is a primary focus of the educational experience at South University School of Pharmacy. The laboratory experience at South University School of Pharmacy includes the application of diabetes management in a hospital setting, a community setting, and a clinic setting. The class has been developed for the first professional year of a 3-year professional curriculum. Laboratory exercises include calculations, case studies, intravenous preparation, assessment tools, and patient-counseling exercises. The Integrated Pharmacy Skills laboratory provides a practical experience for teaching our future pharmacists about diabetes and diabetes management.
