description Pharmacy skills development is essential to pharmacy programs to ensure "practice-ready" graduates. The objective was to describe the landscape of skills laboratory (lab) courses and faculty workload across United States schools and colleges of pharmacy (S/COP). The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Laboratory Instructors Special Interest Group disseminated an anonymous questionnaire to collect faculty demographics, skills lab format, faculty workload, and job satisfaction. Descriptive statistics were generated, and paired t-tests were used to assess changes before and during COVID-19. Faculty from 44 of 142 S/COP responded. Participants (n = 45) were more frequently assistant professors (49%), non-tenure track (80%), and female (98%). A mean of 103 students per class, with a mean of two lab courses in both the first and second years and 1.6 in the third year were reported. Courses had a mean 1.6 lab coordinators each. Many institutions leverage non-lab faculty, pharmacy volunteers, post-graduate trainees, and senior professional students to assist. Faculty reported a mean 28.2 hours per week related to lab activities. The mean assigned percent effort was 44% for teaching in the skills lab, demonstrating consistency with effort calculations. Job satisfaction (scale 1-10) decreased from 7.6 before COVID-19 to 6.4 during COVID-19 (P
