Project description
Case-based learning (CBL) and simulations offer valuable opportunities for pharmacy students to apply their learnings to real-practice and develop patient care skills. Given the time and skill required to create effective and authentic cases, this project will explore the role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology in creating simulated patient cases. We have piloted a ChatGPT generated case activity. We will evaluate student and educator perspectives of the efficacy, relevance and ethics of the AI-generated patient case in this activity. These findings will inform the role of generative-AI within case creation for use within pharmacy and other health-related disciplines.
Research questions
1) What are educator perceptions regarding the efficacy, authenticity and ethical use of the AI-generated patient cases?
2) How do students perceive the efficacy, authenticity and ethical use of the AI-generated patient cases?
