LEARNING OBJECTIVES & ELECTRONIC SYLLABUS for 700 SERIES PHARMACOLOGY COURSES

The major objective of these courses is to teach students how to understand and apply the principles of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics to various drugs. By learning therapeutic and adverse effects of each class of drugs, the student will understand how medications are prescribed to maximize the desirable and minimize the undesirable effects.

Course Goals:

1. provide a working data base on drugs,

2. learn guiding principles and concepts for using the data base effectively,

3. develop the motivation and ability to add new drugs to the data base,

4. learn to interpret, integrate and synthesize essential information on drugs needed in clinical practice.

These learning objectives and electronic syllabi are designed to serve as a study guide (1) “Pharmacology Rapid Review” by Pazdernik & Kerecsen; Mosby (2007) provides a concise summary of pharmacology with 100 excellent USMLE-type Board questions plus access to www.student.consult.com and (2) using Katzung & Trevor’s Pharmacology by AJ Trevor, BG Katzung, & SB Masters; Lange; 7^th Ed.; (2005). This book provides a concise information base that the student should be familiar with prior to working through the CAI Programs recommended for each 700 series course and available via webCAI.

For further information the student should use "Basic & Clinical PHARMACOLOGY" by Katzung or "Goodman & Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics" by Bruton, Lazo, Parker, Buxton & Blumenthal available via AccessMedicine from the Dykes Library Home page of via URL:  https://login.proxy.kumc.edu/login?URL=http://www.accessmedicine.com. All drugs in AccessMiedicine texts are linked to Clinical Pharmacology Online which contains details on current and investigational drugs such as prescribing information and indications, specific pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, contraindications, drug interactions, etc.; this is an excellent on-line resources.

Electronic Syllabus: The electronic syllabus was derived and edited from the PowerPoint presentations used for the Medical Pharmacology Course (PHRM 850). The following faculty contributed: Drs. Bunag, Levant , McCarson, Pazdernik, & Reed. These are Password protected. The User Name and Password will be provided by the instructor after enrollment in one or more of the courses.
