SUMMARY
The overall learning objectives are to understand the pharmaceutical field and its complexity from a societal perspective. We cover an introduction to rational pharmacotherapy, the ATC code system, unintended incidents, drug consumption in the primary/secondary sector, expensive drugs, drug substances, generic and trade names as well as an introduction to the pharmacological dictionary.
Pharmacology II is the second of three modules in this course. In this module, we review side effects and interactions in key high-risk populations and give you a general understanding of how drugs work in these patient groups. In addition, we review the main sources of reliable information on pharmacology.
The three modules are mandatory courses for the Pharma Consultant Diploma.
