PSA Chief Executive Officer Adj A/Prof Steve Morris said, "we're proud to be harnessing technology to give our learners the edge, training in real-life scenarios and better preparing them for their careers and meet the needs of communities".
Audirie CEO Michael Alexander added the partnership represented a sound approach to education in the pharmacy sector.
"As a pharmacist myself, I am excited to collaborate with the PSA, and bring Audirie to the forefront of pharmacy education," he explained.
