Abstract

The teaching of Pharmacology in medical school aims to train professionals capable of integrating the molecular and physiological foundations of medications with their rational, ethical, and humanistic application in the clinical context. This challenge is heightened by the complexity of arboviral diseases, pathologies with a significant epidemiological impact in the Caribbean and Latin America. In this context, a methodology called Integrative Multimodal Pharmacology co-assisted by Artificial Intelligence (IMP-AI) is proposed. A literature review was conducted using methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, and systems thinking, along with the GPT 5 tool, in accordance with professional ethics requirements. The study concludes by stating that the methodology constitutes a pedagogical innovation that transforms the traditional teaching of Pharmacology into a dynamic, reflective and ethical process, applies Allan Carrington's Wheel of Pedagogy as a structuring framework for the integration of cognitive levels and modes of learning, introduces artificial intelligence as a co-assisting pedagogical agent, not a substitute for human thought, and trains physicians capable of thinking critically, deciding ethically and acting with clinical wisdom in the face of arboviruses.
