Programs available

The teaching material is presented according to the organization of the Medical Pharmacology course at the University of Kansas Medical Center.  Most of these programs are stand alone teaching aids; however, our experience is that students should first read appropriate chapters in a pharmacology textbook or their lecture notes prior to working with these programs. Programs marked (R) are available only for the KUMC domain. Programs marked (M) were created in collaboration with the faculty of Marshall University, Department of Pharmacology. Programs marked X are under construction and not intended for student use.
