aceImplementing AI-supported, educator-led simulation to support motivational interviewing practice in pharmacy students
Objective Motivational interviewing is an important skill taught to student pharmacists, however providing adequate practice and quality feedback in the didactic curriculum is challenging. Generative artificial intelligence (AI)-supported simulations may address some of these issues. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of an educator-led, AI-supported simulation (ATLAS) on pharmacy students' confidence in motivational interviewing (MI) skills, and to determine the optimal timing for its integrat…
Pharmacy students who practiced with the AI simulation before peer interviews reported significant gains in motivational interviewing confidence, while those who used it after peers did not.
The outcomes are survey-based confidence measures and qualitative comments, and the preference finding applies only to students who commented, so skill improvement is not directly shown.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1696 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
