Overview
This course is structured for the 4th year medical student to consolidate the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in a case-based structure. The course is designed as a daily seminar to mesh the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in the context of clinical case studies. Covered topics will include the entire spectrum of therapeutics, drug- drug and drug-patient interactions, drug metabolism, and case management. All cases will be distributed prior to the start of the course and will include readings from recent journal articles to facilitate discussion.
Objectives
Students will work in teams of 2-3 on 1-2 cases per session, facilitating case discussion in concert with a faculty member and fellow. In addition to advancing the student's knowledge base in pharmacology, necessary skills in presentation and organization will be enhanced.
