The class is team-taught by the pharmacy practice faculty, and students are exposed to several different teaching styles: didactic teaching, small group discussions/projects, large classroom case discussions, and hands-on learning (for example, using a variety of glucometers, understanding/performing a monofilament exam, or performing subcutaneous injection technique).
