Students will describe and explain disease states, pharmacologic treatment, and the patient experience. Students will connect and continue to integrate selected disease states. Building on knowledge and skills of previous therapeutics and pharmacoscience courses students will analyze disease states and explain the rationale for individualized pharmacologic treatments that address patient concerns, including the evidence for those decisions. Students will describe drugs employed in the treatment of the specific disease conditions with special regard to initial selection, mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics, common adverse and toxicological reactions, dosage regimen design and patient monitoring. Weekly hours: 6 Lecture hoursRestriction(s): Completion of Year 1 of the Pharm.D. Program Prerequisite(s): PHAR 290.0.
