Pharmacotherapeutics I

Catalog description

Pharmacotherapeutics I is the first course in a three-course series designed to provide an integrated and systems-based approach to the pharmacotherapeutic management of diverse patient populations. Pharmacotherapeutics I begins with instruction on basic pharmacological principles (i.e., pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenetics) in order to develop foundational knowledge required for proper therapeutic management. In conjunction with MSPA 5201 Clinical Medicine I, each course in the series provides an intensive study of the major pharmacotherapeutic agents (prescription and nonprescription) for each system.
