Our 2nd year medical school course in Medical Pharmacology is designed to prepare the student
for the clinical study of therapeutics by providing a knowledge of the manner in which drugs
modify biological function. The course includes a systematic study of the effects of drugs
on different organ systems and disease processes, the mechanisms by which drugs produce their
therapeutic and toxic effects, and the factors influencing their absorption, distribution and
biological actions. The course consists of a combination of lectures, laboratories, problem
based learning sessions, clinical round tables, and small group discussions. The lecture
sequence has been coordinated with the 2nd year courses in Pathology and Pathophysiology
and the schedules for these courses have been subdivided into different subject or organ
blocks to facilitate learning across disciplines. Learning objectives for each contact hour
have been developed and are posted on-line. Defined learning objectives are intended to help
assist our students in mastering the content of each session, and for preparing for exams
scheduled at the end of each subject block. Interactive self-assessment exams have also been
developed, and are posted on this web site a few days prior to each block exam.
