Advanced Mental Health Pharmacotherapy

Catalog description

This elective course serves to build upon mental health knowledge learned in Pharmacotherapy IV (Phar 7540) and to develop an even broader knowledge base of psychiatric and neurologic disease states. Lecture time will be divided between didactic teaching and case based learning. Students will learn to apply psychopharmacologic and therapeutic management strategies to treat these disorders through the use of interactive patient cases and clinical scenarios. Other methods of teaching and learning (videos, literature evaluation, patient counseling, expert panels, etc.) may also be used to illustrate key points and present material. Prerequisites: (PHAR 550 or 7540 ).
