Activity Overview 

The gaps in education for inpatient pharmacists regarding AI technologies primarily revolve around a lack of comprehensive training and familiarity with these advanced tools. Many pharmacists are not sufficiently educated on how AI can be integrated into their workflows to enhance decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and streamline administrative tasks. This knowledge gap stems from both the rapid pace of AI development and the insufficient inclusion of AI-related content in pharmacy education curricula. Bridging this gap requires targeted educational programs and continuous professional development opportunities that focus on AI's practical applications, ethical considerations, and its potential to transform healthcare practices.
