Clinical Pharmacokinetics - Pharmacodynamics

3 cr · Undergraduate

This course is designed to develop and integrate the advanced knowledge and skills required to apply pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) to therapeutic drug management and patient care. Emphasis is on (1) demonstrating the value of PK-PD in selecting and monitoring drug therapies that maximize efficacy and minimize toxicity, and (2) appropriately using PK-PD formulae and models that account for factors such as patient demographics, organ function, disease states and drug interactions. May not be held with PHRM 3550 or the former PHRM 3500. Registration is normally restricted to students in Year 2 of the program.
