TRxending in Pharmaceutical Sciences

As generative AI becomes more ingrained in everyday life, from the workplace to the classroom, emerging opportunities present themselves for AI’s use within pharmacy education.  Today, I’m joined by two educators at the faculty, Fong Chan and Jamie Yuen, who are exploring generative AI’s use within pharmacy education through an exciting project called GENRX. Together, they explain how developing a prototype using generative AI to simulate virtual consultations for pharmacy students might enhance those students’ clinic skills and educational experience.

What is TRxending in Pharmaceutical Sciences?

From the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UBC, welcome to TRxending – a podcast dedicated to exploring trending topics across all areas of pharmaceutical sciences, including research, practice, education, and community.

Our episodes are recorded on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. We encourage you, wherever you’re listening, to also take a moment to consider the land you are on—the history, the original caretakers, and your relationship to it.
