About The Skills Lab | Skills Lab | Binghamton University

Binghamton University School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences’ Skills Lab course sequence serves as the bridge between didactic learning and experiential settings.

An essential component of this learning is the simulation experience. Simulations are designed by experienced simulation educators using state-of-the art equipment and technology. They immerse students in realistic, clinical situations that pharmacists will encounter in the field. These include dispensing, medication management, injections, review and recommendation of medications, and communication about therapies.

By providing opportunities to perform pharmaceutical tasks in a safe and supportive environment, Skills Lab simulations increase student mastery of clinical concepts and strengthen the communication skills necessary to provide quality patient care.
