Updated: 2 hours ago
Quick answer
Updated 20 October 2026. For healthcare and pharma teams, Parikshit Khanna runs hands-on ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot and Gemini training for non-clinical work, onsite across India or live online. Patient data never goes into unapproved tools, and clinical decisions always stay with qualified clinicians. See the full programme page: AI training for healthcare and pharma teams.

If you work in pharmaceuticals, the difficult part of an AI draft is often checking what it leaves out. A short summary may lose an important limitation, while a polished email may make a claim your source does not support. Practical training should help you notice these problems before a document moves forward. This guide proposes a workshop with Parikshit Khanna for medical affairs, commercial support, training, and other pharma colleagues. The exercises can use fictional products and approved public material, with a clear reader and reviewer for each task. Begin with a small internal document and practise preserving the evidence. The purpose is to improve the drafting and review process, then decide where the approach is useful.
Start here
You do not need a technical background. Choose one small task, use fictional or approved public information, and check the result yourself. This guide covers a practical example, tool costs, and how guided training can help.
Keep evidence and product claims separate
Use a fictional study abstract and ask AI for a short internal learning summary. Require separate headings for what was studied, what was found, and what remains uncertain. Check that the population, comparison, and limitations survive the rewrite. A concise draft should not turn a limited finding into a broad product benefit.
For commercial support colleagues, use an invented meeting brief with no promotional claims. Practise extracting questions that should go to medical or regulatory reviewers. This teaches staff to recognise the boundaries of their role. The assistant can organise a question list without deciding what the organisation is authorised to claim.
Parikshit Khanna's proposed session can bring these groups together to compare handovers. Agree how a source is recorded, how draft status is shown, and who approves the next version. Scientific, regulatory, and promotional review remain with the responsible specialists. A training exercise cannot establish product efficacy or authorise external material.
When planning pharma training, identify the participating functions and document types. Agree approved source material, reviewers, and accounts before the session, and discuss technical integration as a separate scope if it is needed.
Review a fictional study summary for overstatement
Write a short invented study abstract for a fictional product, including a small sample, one result, and two limitations.
Ask AI for an internal summary with findings and uncertainties separated, then request a list of questions for a medical reviewer.
Check every statement against the abstract and highlight any wording that exaggerates the result or omits a limitation.
Verify the study details, limitations, numerical results, and source version. Separate a reported finding from an interpretation or proposed claim. Have the designated medical, regulatory, or promotional reviewer assess any real document before it is shared outside its approved audience.
AI and generative AI, in ordinary words
AI is the broad name for computer tools that help with tasks such as finding patterns, sorting information or making predictions. Generative AI is one kind that creates a draft of text, images or other content from an instruction. That instruction is often called a prompt. A workflow simply means the steps used to complete a task. A fluent answer can still contain mistakes.
A useful instruction says what you want, who will read it, which approved facts to use, and what must stay unchanged. For example: “Rewrite this fictional clinic notice in friendly, short sentences. Keep every date unchanged. Do not add medical advice. Flag anything unclear.”
What are Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot?
Claude is Anthropic’s AI assistant. You can ask it to draft, simplify or organise information, then review its work.
ChatGPT is OpenAI’s AI assistant. Use the same careful approach: give clear instructions, check sources, and review the draft.
Microsoft Copilot is a family of AI assistants. Personal Copilot and workplace Copilot have different access and controls. Ask IT which work account and licence your organisation has approved. Dragon Copilot is a separate healthcare product; ordinary Copilot is not a clinical system.
Free or paid: what should you choose?
Start with a free option and fictional examples. Pay only when a specific limit or feature is stopping useful work. A personal paid subscription does not automatically permit patient information. Check account controls, organisational approval and total cost before buying.
Claude reference prices checked 16 October 2026: Free is US$0 with limits; Pro is US$20 a month or US$200 billed yearly. Team Standard is US$20 per person per month billed yearly, or US$25 monthly, for 2–150 people. Taxes and local checkout terms may differ. More expensive plans are available; beginners do not need to start there.
Microsoft Copilot has a free personal version. Copilot Chat is included with eligible Microsoft 365 work plans; some agents can add usage charges. The India business page lists a first-year offer for existing eligible Microsoft 365 Business customers: ₹1,495.73 per user per month paid yearly, versus regular ₹1,745. An annual commitment is required. The qualifying base licence costs extra, and GST is extra. The offer runs 1 July–31 December 2026. Confirm renewal terms before buying.
ChatGPT has free and paid plans. Check the official plan information and your local checkout before paying; features and limits can change. Tool subscriptions are separate from workshop fees.
Draft with AI. Check it yourself. Share only after approval.
Protect patient information and keep a person responsible
For practice, leave out real names, reports, prescriptions, phone numbers, appointment lists and other identifying details. Use invented information. Before any patient information is used, your organisation should approve the tool, account, contracts, settings and workflow. Removing a name alone may not remove every identifying detail.
WHO warns that generated answers may be false, incomplete or biased. Read the original source, check dates and numbers, and have the appropriate professional approve the final text. General chatbots should not make diagnosis, treatment, dosage, triage or urgent-care decisions.
Follow AI news without feeling left behind
You do not need every new model or subscription. Pick one useful task and practise it for a week. Set aside a short weekly news-reading slot. For each announcement, ask: Is it available here? Is our organisation allowed to use it? Does it solve a task we actually have?
Two developments worth understanding: Anthropic announced Claude for Healthcare on 11 January 2026; Microsoft described Dragon Copilot expansion on 5 March 2026. These are vendor announcements with market, licence and feature limits, not proof that a general chatbot can deliver better patient outcomes.
How Parikshit Khanna’s training can help
Parikshit Khanna is an AI trainer and Founder of Digital Training Jet. A guided session gives your team time to practise clear instructions, spot mistakes, check sources and agree who approves the final work. Ask for examples based on your department’s everyday tasks and time for beginner questions.
A participant account published by OncoDaily describes learning from Parikshit at a ChatGPT and AI tools workshop for healthcare professionals held at IIT Delhi. This describes a workshop experience; it does not claim institutional endorsement or clinical certification.

Plan a session around your team’s work
Share your team’s roles, group size, preferred language, two or three repetitive tasks, approved tools and possible dates. Ask for a proposal covering practice time, take-home examples, review responsibilities and follow-up support. Workshop fees, delivery format and travel are confirmed in the proposal. Results should be measured in your own setting.
Common questions
Do I need coding skills? No. Begin with a clearly described task and a short draft you can check.
Will AI replace professional judgement? Your team remains responsible for the final output. Training focuses on careful use and review.
Should everyone buy a paid account? Start with the tools your organisation already approves. Buy additional access only for a demonstrated need.
