The Elm

All faculty, staff, and students are invited to the School of Pharmacy’s Francis S. Balassone Memorial Lecture, Nov. 20 at 1 p.m. in Pharmacy Hall, Room N103, featuring panelists Deena Speights-Napata, MA, executive director of the Maryland Board of Pharmacy, Warren D’Souza, PhD, MBA, FAAPM, chief innovation officer for the University of Maryland Medical System, and Stephen Davis, MBBS, FRCP, FACE, MACP, director of UMB’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Research.

The lecture’s topic is "The GenAI Promise for Pharmacy and Population Health: A Game Changer for Health Care."

Will robots take your job? AI and GenAI will continue to enhance the role of pharmacists rather than replace them. We invite you to join us for a dynamic discussion of the role of GenAI in pharmacy. Various AI models have been developed to predict and detect adverse drug events, assist clinical decision support systems with medication-related decisions, automate dispensing processes in community pharmacies, optimize medication dosages, detect drug-drug interactions, improve adherence through smart technologies, detect and prevent medication errors, provide medication therapy management services, and support telemedicine initiatives.

Submit questions for the panelists to Fadia Shaya, PhD.
