INTRODUCTIONThis study explores the perceptions, familiarity, and utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) among pharmacy faculty and students across the United States. By identifying key gaps in AI education and training, it highlights the need for structured curricular integration to prepare future pharmacists for an evolving digital healthcare landscape.METHODSA 19-item Qualtrics™ survey was created to assess perceptions of AI use among pharmacy faculty and students and distributed utilizing publicly available contacts at schools of pharmacy and intern lists. The electronic survey was open from September 5th to November 22nd 2023. Responses were analyzed for trends and compared between faculty and student responses across four sub-domains.RESULTSA total of 235 pharmacy faculty and 405 pharmacy students completed the survey. Responses indicated high familiarity with AI in both groups but found differences in training. Both groups identified ethical considerations and training as major barriers to AI integration. Faculty were less likely to trust AI responses than students despite reporting similar rates of incorrect information. Students were more concerned than faculty about AI reducing pharmacy jobs, particularly in community and health-system settings.DISCUSSIONThis study highlights the need for intentional AI training tailored to pharmacy students, aiming to bridge the knowledge gap and equip them with the skills to navigate an AI-driven future. The inconsistency in how AI is addressed within the curriculum and the lack of established ethical guidelines display the need for clear and consistent institutional policies and professional guidance.

Baseline conditions and land-based drivers of nearshore water quality in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia

Author: Tonga, Bryan ; McDermid, Karla ; Colbert, Steven ; Wiegner, Tracy ; Aguiar, Devon

Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia, is a coral reef biodiversity hotspot. However, little water quality data are available, especially for nearshore waters. Identifying land-based pollution sources for watershed management is a priority of the government to improve water quality for their people and reefs, and it is needed before further development and climate change exacerbate conditions. We conducted an island-wide nearshore water quality survey in 2018 and 2019 to establish current conditions through nutrients, fecal indicator bacteria, stable nitrogen isotopes in nitrate and macroalgal tissue measurements. Relationships among water quality parameters and land cover were examined to identify drivers of water pollution. Sewage pollution from wastewater treatment plant infrastructure and onsite sewage disposal systems, piggeries, and dredge sites all contributed to poor water quality largely in the municipalities of Kolonia and Sokehs. NO₃^- + NO₂^-, Enterococcus spp., and δ¹⁵N-NO₃^- were the best indicators of sewage pollution, and the former two were positively related to urban cover. δ¹⁵N in macroalgae tissue was not a good indicator of sewage pollution because of high coastal NH₄⁺ concentrations from mangroves. Our results will inform management actions to improve water quality, but more explicit measurements relative to pollution sources, transport mechanisms, and watershed information are needed. Our study's approach will be useful for other locations in the region grappling with nearshore water quality issues.
