Details

This workshop aims to explore innovative and ethical approaches to pharmacology education by shifting away from the traditional reliance on rodent models. With increasing emphasis on the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) and the evolving landscape of scientific tools, this session will highlight alternative teaching models, including computational simulations, organ-on-a-chip technologies, use of worm, fish and human-based in vitro systems. In addition to alternative models for pharmacology, this workshop will explore the role of storytelling as an effective teaching tool to make pharmacology and pharmacy accessible across diverse audiences. Leading educators, researchers and educational storytellers will share insights on integrating these approaches into curricula, addressing both the scientific and ethical imperatives. By fostering a dialogue on modern, humane, engaging and effective teaching methods, this workshop will provide attendees with practical strategies to enhance pharmacology education without compromising educational or research outcomes.
