Description

Biomedical pharmacology presents an overview of the basic concepts and principles of pharmacology. Students explore mechanisms of drug action, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacogenomics, and toxicology. Additional classroom sessions highlight the basic and clinical pharmacology of agents that exert effects on a variety of physiologic systems including the heart and vasculature, the neuromuscular junction, and the autonomic and central nervous systems. Successful completion of this course will prepare students for doctoral level study of pharmacology.
