Course Overview

Clinical pharmacology is the branch of pharmacology that focuses on the study of drugs in humans. A comprehensive understanding of the principles of clinical pharmacology facilitates the clinician prescribing optimal therapy to an individual patient. Over the last 30 yr the clinical pharmacology of many drugs has been elucidated with advances in sophisticated, accurate, and precise analytical tools to determine plasma drug and/or metabolite concentrations in biological fluids. This has permitted a better understanding of the relationship between the pharmacokinetics (derived from the Greek pharmakon [drug] and kinisis [movement] and meaning drug concentration over time) and the pharmacodynamics (derived from the Greek pharmakon and dynameos tis [power], meaning drug action or power) for many drugs.

  • Two flourishing societies that represent academic and industry interests.

This integrated course program consists of five overlapping components: General Clinical Pharmacology, Rational Drug Prescribing, Evidence-Based Pharmacotherapy, Disease-Specific Clinical Topics, and Workshops for Special Attention Topics.

General Clinical Pharmacology emphasizes the principles of individualization of drug therapy and covers the following relevant topics: pharmacogenetics, drug use in liver and renal disease, drugs in special populations (the neonate and infant, the pregnant and elderly), drug interactions, adverse drug reactions, and therapeutic drug monitoring.

The Rational Drug Prescribing component prepares students to develop a personal formulary through a series of lectures and workshops. This component consists of lectures under the theme "How to Prepare You Own Personal Formulary." In addition, during the workshop on practical aspects of prescribing, the legal and practical aspects of prescribing and the factors that may affect rational prescribing are discussed.

The Evidence-Based Pharmacotherapy component consists of a lecture on critical appraisal of literature in pharmacotherapy, a working lunch workshop on drug promotion, and a workshop on medical controversies. The Disease-Specific Clinical Topics component addresses the clinical pharmacology of common disorders. Selected topics reflect medical considerations and situations seen most commonly in routine medical practice (the rational pharmacotherapy of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, asthma, epilepsy, renal disorders, psychiatric disorders, peptic ulcer disease and infectious diseases).

Workshops for the Special-Attention Topics component consist of lectures in the morning and 2-hour case discussion sessions in the afternoon. Special attention topics include pharmcokinetics, toxicology, and pain treatment.
