1.0 credits

Special Topics in Pharmacology is designed to illustrate several studies in the primary scientific literature that underpin our understanding of the basic principles of pharmacology and clinical therapeutics. Topics will loosely parallel those covered in the Medical Pharmacology course (PHP623) and will also include papers selected by each student from their concentration area. Discussion of each of these papers in class will be led by the students. In the first couple of weeks, papers will be chosen by the course director and presented by the students. In the final 12 weeks, papers will be chosen by the students on a rotating basis to reflect the topics of their Master's Theses.
