SUMMARY
This course gives you an introduction to pharmacology based on clinical practice and on what you learned in the Anatomy & Physiology and Pathology courses. You will learn the basic terminology in pharmacology to help you interact with other healthcare professionals and gain knowledge on drug interaction and how drugs work in different contexts and populations.
Pharmacology II is the second of three modules of this course. In this module we will review the main high-risk populations and give you a general understanding on how drugs affect these patient groups. Furthermore, we will go through the main available sources of reliable pharmacological information, and look into the pre- and post-marketing of drugs.
The three pharmacology courses are mandatory modules of the Pharma Consultant Programme.
