Course Information
Description
HST150 covers both general pharmacological principles (pharmacodynamics, toxicology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics, drug interactions, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmaco-economics and the placebo effect), and important clinical pharmacology areas (anti-microbials, general anesthetics, local anesthetics, autonomic modulation, anti-dysrhythmics, hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, anti-inflammatory drugs for rheumatology, immunomodulation for organ transplant, cancer chemotherapy, neuropsychopharmacology, opioids and opioid use disorder, cannabinoids, and drug delivery engineering). In addition, students taking the course for credit contribute to teaching by presenting and analyzing clinical cases and therapeutic strategies. Thus, it is highly recommended that students taking HST150 have prior education in human physiology and pathophysiology.
