What you’ll be able to do
Recognize the fundamental principles of drug actions at their target sites (e.g. receptors, enzymes, etc)
Understand the various mechanisms by which drugs can mediate their pharmacological effect
Describe how drugs mimic or modify physiological function, including the various actions and clinical uses
Describe the major classes of therapeutic drugs that affect the primary systems within the body
Choose a relevant experimental system to test experimental hypotheses (e.g. in vitro or in vivo; animal species, etc)
Design experiments which are properly controlled and which use appropriate statistical methods of data analysis
