Spring 2025 Lecture
This course will develop knowledge and skills regarding the physiology/ pathophysiology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics/pharmaceutics, and pharmacotherapy of specific cardiovascular diseases, neurology diseases, and psychiatric disorders.
Learning Outcomes1Explain structure-function relationships of drugs used for the management of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine, headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
2Explain the pharmacology of drugs used for the management of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine, headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
3Describe the pathophysiologic processes responsible for specific disease states and integrate this knowledge into the therapeutic decision making process.
4Evaluate various therapeutic alternatives for a given disease state in light of specific patient factors and design a patient-specific pharmacotherapeutic regimen. This will include assessing the effectiveness of therapy on the basis of clinical and laboratory parameters.
5Describe adverse effects associated with drugs used for the management of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine/headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
6Design evidence-based drug therapy treatment plans for patients with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine/headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
