Cover Story: As diabetes reaches epidemic levels globally, ensuring healthcare professionals are adequately trained is vital. This study evaluates the long-term impact of a diabetes self-care education program (DSEP) implemented in the first year of pharmacy school. Through interactive training and active-learning methods, student pharmacists developed foundational skills in diabetes self-care management. Over 3–5 years, participants showed sustained improvements in knowledge, confidence, and clinical application, impacting over 22,000 patients. These results support the early integration of diabetes education into pharmacy curricula to better prepare students for real-world patient care. View this paper
