This is the second in a series of courses which will provide students with the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively manage patients’ drug therapy. Throughout this series of courses, students will learn to integrate evidence-based research, collaborate with other disciplines, and prioritize patient centered care in their future practice.

This course will cover the most common conditions associated with the respiratory and cardiovascular system along with diabetes mellitus. An understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology will allow students to select the appropriate pharmacotherapy for an individual patient. The students will be able to integrate knowledge of foundational sciences (e.g, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry and pharmacokinetics) and social sciences (adherence, health advocacy and social determinants of health) into the care of patients.
