THE SCIENCE OF CLINICAL THERAPEUTICS

MEDICINE 913

Course Description

Enhance understanding of clinical therapies and evidence-based best practice in the acute care setting. Apply this knowledge to understand clinical interventions for diseases that are seen commonly in residency: Describe the multiple common diseases and conditions; discuss their molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology; choose appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies; and apply molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology to decisions about therapeutic treatment. Appraise published basic science literature and clinical guidelines, and apply knowledge to clinical case scenarios.
