Objectives
ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE REGARDING PHARMACODYNAMIC, PHARMACOKINETIC AND MOLECULAR MECHANISM/S OF ACTION AND SIDE EFFECTS OF DRUGS IS AT THE BASIS OF THIS COURSE.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
STUDENTS WILL ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE ON:
-PRINCIPLES OF PHARMACODYNAMIC AND PHARMACOKINETIC
-MECHANISM/S OF ACTION OF DRUGS
-MECHANISM/S THAT LEAD TO SIDE EFFECTS
-INTERACTION AMONG DRUGS
-USE OF DRUGS IN A PERSONALIZED MANNER

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO:
-DEFINE THE PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENTIAL CLASSES OF DRUGS, INCLUDING EFFECTIVENESS, SECURITY AND ADHESION TO THE THERAPY
-DEFINE THE MOST APPROPRIATE CLASS OF DRUG TO BE USED ACCORDING TO THE PATHOLOGY
-DEFINE DRUG INTERACTIONS

MAKING JUDGEMENT:
STUDENTS WILL:
-EVALUATE MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR MECHANISM/S AT THE BASE OF DRUG ACTIVITY
-DISTINGUISH PHARMACOLOGICAL FROM TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF DRUGS
-EVALUATE THE EFFICACY, EFFECTIVENESS AND SECURITY OF DRUGS
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO ELABORATE A SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION REGARDING THE THERAPEUTIC AND TOXICOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF DRUGS, USING AN APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO APPROACH ANY EXPERIMENTAL QUESTION IN THE PHARMACOLOGICAL FIELD.
Prerequisites
THE STUDENT SHOULD HAVE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY, BIOCHEMISTRY AND PATHOLOGY.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES 96 HOURS OF FRONTAL ASSISTED TEACHING (12 CFU).
ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 70% OF THE TEACHING HOURS. THE PRESENCE IS VERIFIED ELECTRONICALLY.
Verification of learning
THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE WILL BE VERIFIED BY AN ORAL EXAM CERTIFIED ACCORDING TO THE EVALUATION OF 30 OUT OF 30. THE EXAM IS AN ORAL TEST WHICH CONSISTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION ON THE CONTENTS OF THE TEACHING CLASS. THE ORAL EXAM AIMS TO VERIFY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, ABILITY OF CONNECTIONS AMONG THE SUBJECTS AND THE USE OF AN APPROPRIATE TERMINOLOGY.
