Welcome to the June edition of the IUPHAR Education Section newsletter. In this edition, we provide updates on various IUPHAR-Ed initiatives, including insights from the online meeting steering group and progress on the core concepts project. Please complete the survey on page 2 if the core concepts of pharmacology project has impacted your teaching practice. We also share some new infographic resources you might find useful in your teaching - see page 3 for more details.
There’s no doubt that the use of generative AI is changing the way we think about assessment. We spotlight a recently published paper on student perceptions and usage of AI in a pharmacology assessment, and also feature an opinion piece on whether AI will replace educators!
A reminder that abstract submissions are now open for WCP 2026 in Melbourne. We encourage all pharmacology educators to submit their abstracts. We are also planning an education satellite and will share more details as they become available.
We’d value your feedback on the IUPHAR-Ed newsletter. Your input will help us improve the content and make it more engaging and relevant to our readers. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey on page 14 and share your opinions. We also welcome your contributions to future newsletters.
If you'd like to be featured in an upcoming edition, please get in touch.
