THE SCIENCE OF CLINICAL THERAPEUTICS

PHYASST 550

Introduces information fundamental to understanding clinical medicine principles. Topics addressed include select areas of physiology-pathophysiology, pharmacology, laboratory medicine, and common systemic disease processes. There will also be instruction relative to cognitively approaching the patient.

PHYASST 641

Emphasizes pharmacotherapeutics relative to disease processes of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, urologic, gastrointestinal, and rheumatologic systems. Other topics addressed include geriatric pharmacology, pharmacoeconomics, complementary and alternative medicines, and treatment of sexually transmitted infections.

PHYTHER 665

Common pathological processes, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and pathogenesis of disease for the cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematology, neurology, gastrointestinal, urological, gynecological, musculoskeletal, and rheumatological systems. Medical tests and treatments including medications, diagnostic imaging, and pharmacology principles will also be covered.

PHMPRAC 655

Clinical application of medications in the management of various disease states. Assessment and therapeutic monitoring of disease states and drug therapy using the concepts of pharmacokinetics/dynamics, drug interactions, pharmacy practice and patient counseling. Topics include various renal, endocrine, gastrointestinal, rheumatologic and immunologic disease therapeutics.

PHYTHER 664

Modules in medical screening, pharmacological principles, diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, psychological disorders, ENT, endocrinology, dermatology, and geriatrics are presented in the context of pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, prevention, and management. Lectures provided by physicians, physician assistants and physical therapists. Case studies are utilized for development of clinical problem solving skills.
