PHRD-313: Pharmacotherapeutics I: Principles of Medicinal Chemistry & Pharmacology

Pharmacotherapeutics (PT) is a 5-semester, team-taught, integrated course sequence combining material from four major content areas: pathophysiology, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, and therapeutics. It is designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn, integrate and apply concepts from the four content areas in order to provide the necessary information for pharmaceutical management of a variety of disease states. In this first of twelve modules, basic principles of pharmacology and medicinal chemistry, as they relate to disease state management, are presented and serve as foundational material for subsequent modules. Prerequisites: PHRD-305 Biochemistry, PHRD-307 Applied Biomedical Sciences Workshop. Corequisites: PHRD-306: Pharmacist Care Laboratory II, PHRD-309 Immunology. [ 2 credits ]
