T2 Electives - Department of Pharmacology

The course will be devoted to a consideration of current and classical literature in clinical and basic pharmacology. Students will present critiques of journal articles followed by discussion between faculty and students. The purposes of the course are to develop critical attitudes in the students, keep the students abreast of advances and classic discoveries in pharmacology, and offer practice in scientific presentation. No final exam.

Cardiovascular Pharmacology Research

The goals and objectives of this course are to study the mechanisms that regulate tone in the pulmonary vascular bed, examine how pharmacologic agents alter this regulation, and to separate the cardiac and pulmonary vascular effects of these agents.

The course consists of supervised laboratory research, collection of data, writing of abstracts for professional meetings and papers for journals. No formal examinations.

Evaluation will be on performance and acquired knowledge during the course of experiments. Students will be assessed via quality of final written research report and performance in research lab.

Cardiobiology Advanced Topics

The goals of this elective are to (1) increase the depth and breadth of knowledge about current "hot" topics of basic research in cardiovascular, physiology, pharmacology, and molecular biology and (2) to further develop the ability to critically analyze a research publication. This course primarily consists of student presentations of recently published research papers, as well as a small number of lectures, and a debate.
