Course details
In this course students will be introduced to pharmacology as a science and will learn the basic principles of pharmacology and characteristics of specific drug classifications. Basic principles include both pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of drugs. Within each class of drugs, students will develop an understanding of the mechanisms of drug action, pharmacokinetic properties, therapeutic effects and uses, adverse drug reactions and relevance to podiatric medicine. Principles of anaesthesia are covered with emphasis on safe and effective administration of local anaesthesia in a clinical setting. Students will also cover the basic biology of the main groups of microorganisms, concepts of normal flora, opportunistic pathogens, microbial infections, introduction to viruses and immunology, and ways to control microbial growth. The significance to podiatric medicine as applied to dermatology will be the focus of this component.
