Our Standard

How PharmaXR decides what to recommend

Emerging technology should earn its place in the curriculum. Every recommendation is evaluated against four practical standards.

01

Is there evidence?

Is there published research, defensible educational evidence, or a clear rationale demonstrating value for learning, competency, or patient care?

02

Is it teachable?

Can faculty implement and sustain it without creating unnecessary complexity or dependence on individual champions?

03

Is it assessable?

Does the intervention produce observable, measurable, and reportable evidence of learner competency?

04

Will it last?

Can the institution support the technology through appropriate governance, resources, faculty ownership, and long-term implementation?

Evidence into Action

Turn evidence into your institution's next advantage.

Translate emerging technologies into sustainable, measurable educational strategies tailored to your curriculum, faculty, and students.
