Neurology

Catalog description

The neurology module will include an integrated approach combining physiology, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pathology/pathophysiology, pharmacotherapeutics, clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of nervous system. Pharmacology principles will include drug receptor interactions and subsequent biological responses, biochemical mechanisms of drug action, adverse and toxic effects, contraindications, and important drug-drug interactions. The pathophysiology and therapeutic principles in clinical practice will be incorporated in a sequential and integrative manner. This will enable students to relate knowledge from both basic sciences and clinical sciences. Relevant pharmacogenetic considerations that may impact safety or efficacy of therapeutic agents and the role of pharmacogenetics in the clinical decision-making process and making therapeutic recommendations will also be discussed. 2.10.
