Advanced Pathophysiology And Pharmacotherapeutics I

Catalog description

This course integrates pathophysiology and pharmacotherapy to provide a comprehensive understanding of disease processes and their management. Students will synthesize complex pathophysiological concepts with evidence-based pharmacological interventions to develop personalized care for diverse patient populations. Emphasis is placed on advanced clinical decision-making and critical evaluation of treatment effectiveness. Course Learning Outcomes 1. Synthesize advanced pathophysiological knowledge with pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to formulate comprehensive differential diagnoses and evidence-based pharmacological treatment plans for common systemic disorders. (Aligns with EPSLOs 1, 3, 5) 2. Integrate patient preferences, genetic/genomic factors, environmental influences, and social determinants of health into culturally sensitive plans of care, demonstrating advanced clinical reasoning in the selection and management of pharmacological interventions for core physiological disorders. (Aligns with EPSLOs 1, 2, 4) 3. Demonstrate advanced clinical decision-making skills by accurately interpreting diagnostic test results, distinguishing between normal and abnormal physiological findings, and selecting appropriate pharmacologic agents based on pathophysiological processes in diverse patient populations. (Aligns with EPSLOs 1, 3, 6) 4. Evaluate the effectiveness of prescribed pharmacological interventions in relation to pathophysiological responses based on patient outcomes, evidence, and cost-effectiveness. (Aligns with EPSLOs 1, 3, 4, 5) 5. Apply the principles of pharmacotherapeutics to abnormal physiological processes and pathophysiological phenomena, utilizing evidence-based decisions considering legal and ethical requirements.
