PHCY 412: Principles of Pharmacodynamics (PharmD Curriculum)

Spring Semester. Overview of how drug-protein interactions influence systemic drug disposition, drug concentrations at the site of action, and pharmacologic response. This is the first of three courses on pharmacokinetics in the professional pharmacy curriculum.

PHCY 413: Foundations in Pharmacokinetics (PharmD Curriculum)

Fall Semester: This course is designed to introduce basic concepts, underlying theory and selected therapeutic applications of pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics. This course provides the student with a foundation upon which more advances therapeutic concepts will be built in PHCY 414.

PHCY 414: Clinical Pharmacokinetics (PharmD Curriculum)

Spring Semester: The purpose of this course is to develop expertise in the discipline of clinical pharmacokinetics. PHCY 413provides a theoretical foundation in pharmacokinetics and biopharmaceutics. PHCY 414 focuses on the application of pharmacokinetics principles and relevant pharmacokinetic data to optimize drug therapy in individual patients. Discussion focuses on the major drugs that are currently monitored, including theoretical pharmacokinetic concepts, disease states, drug interactions, etc., applicable to kinetic monitoring of each therapeutic agent.

DPET 855: Principles of Pharmacokinetics (Graduate Curriculum)

Fall Semester, Every other year - next offered Fall 2009: This course is designed to review the fundamental principles underlying standard pharmacokinetic systems, to introduce principles of pharmacokinetics in model development and to discuss a variety of techniques used to recover estimates of key pharmacokinetic parameters.

DPET 856: Advanced Pharmacokinetics(Graduate Curriculum)

Spring Semester, Every other year - next offered Spring 2010: This course is designed to extend standard model development technique to complex pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic systems, to utilize advanced data analysis techniques to recover intrinsic kinetic and dynamic parameters and to review the classic and contemporary literature that is the basis of modern pharmacokinetic theory.

DPET 818: Foundations in Exercise Prescription (PharmD Curriculum)

Spring Semester:  The purpose of this course is to develop the professional student to become familiar with couseling patients with sound exercise and nutrition advice and enhance their abilities to interact with nutritionists and exercise physiologists.
