Integrating GenAI in a Post-Licensure Pathophysiology Course to Enhance Communication Skills and Promote AI Literacy

The rapid evolution of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) (GenAI) presents new opportunities for enhancing nursing education. This innovation explores the integration of GenAI into a post-licensure pathophysiology course, where students use AI tools to develop patient education pamphlets. The initiative aimed to improve comprehension of complex medical concepts, enhance communication skills, and promote AI literacy. By critically evaluating AI-generated content, students engaged in deeper learning while addressing ethical considerations surrounding AI use. This pedagogical approach aligns with the increasing role of AI in health care, preparing future nurses to effectively interact with AI-driven tools.
