Integrative Virtual Simulation and Artificial Intelligence Frameworks for Transformative Pharmacy Education and Precision Therapeutics
Abstract
The use of computer-based simulations (CBS), virtual patients (VPs), and artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming pharmacy education with integrated and safe learning environments. This review analyzes how MyDispense, PharmG, and AI clinical labs stimulate decision-making, prescription communication, and pharmacy students’ confidence. During the COVID-19 pandemic, such tools proved flexibility and scalability in supporting experiential learning in virtual and hybrid techniques. AI provides adaptive feedback, predictive modeling, and scenario personalization on top of tailored training that addresses personalized medicine and advanced drug delivery design. Multiple studies in the literature demonstrating improved competence, satisfaction, and professional readiness as a result of simulation integration in curricula strengthen the case. Virtual simulation, along with high expenses, technology gaps, and remote faculty interaction, is an proved supplement. To overcome a gap in digital technology and physical simulation, the evidence suggests an hybrid approach. Virtualsimulation in pharmacy education is sure to have a transformative impact.
