Programs available

The teaching material is presented according to the organization in Mosby's Ace the Boards: Pharmacology (Editors: Enna, Gordon and Pazdernik). These are stand alone teaching aids, however, our experience is that students should first read appropriate chapters in a pharmacology textbook prior to working with these programs. Programs marked (R) are available only for the KUMC domain. Programs marked X are under construction and not intended for student use.
