Description

In this project on AI Powered Clinical Pharmacology: Enhancing Lifespan Based Prescribing Through Interactive Learning, I intend to develop and implement three 24/7 retrieval augmented generation (RAG) based conversational chatbots to support nurse practitioner students in mastering antimicrobial pharmacology, one of the most challenging and high stakes areas of their advanced pharmacology course. This innovative approach aligns with national priorities in nursing education and antimicrobial stewardship and has the potential to scale across other complex content areas in healthcare education. My RAG model will take the text, chunk it into parts, convert it into embeddings, create a vector database, and perform cosine similarity matching.
