Courses
PHARM 201 - Principles of Medicinal Chemistry
Introduces students to fundamental principles in medicinal chemistry necessary to understand the relationship between drug structure and drug action. The clinical relevance of medicinal chemistry will be explored through examination of drug structure, properties, classification, cell targets, and selected design/development strategies. (Restricted to Pharmacy students.)
PHARM 203 - Introduction to Pharmacology 1
Introduces students to fundamental principles of pharmacology that will form the basis for future pharmacotherapy courses. Core concepts of pharmacology, including theoretical aspects of drug-receptor interaction, dose-dependence of drug action, and the effects of drugs on nervous and cardiovascularl systems will be covered. (Restricted to Pharmacy students).
PHARM 233 - Introduction to Pharmacology 2
Building on pharmacology fundamentals introduced in Pharm 203, students will continue learning fundamental principles of pharmacology that affect other organ systems, as well as core concepts on the mechanisms of action for drugs including those used in the treatment of various diseases. (Restricted to Pharmacy students.)
