Exploring Generative Artificial Intelligence to Enhance Reflective Writing in Pharmacy Education

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to impact teaching and learning. In this commentary, we explore the opportunity for AI to enhance reflective writing (RW) among student pharmacists. AI-guided RW has the potential to strengthen students' reflective capacity, deepen their autobiographical memory, and develop their self-confidence. This commentary presents examples of how AI can be utilized to enrich RW and includes a sample prompt aimed at facilitating student self-reflection. We explore how integrating AI-facilitated RW assignments into the pharmacy curriculum can help students develop detailed examples for self-reflection and gain exposure to the potential uses of AI in their professional development and career advancement.
