PHM392H1: Advanced Pharmacotherapy of Infectious Diseases

18L/8S

This course is designed to expose students to hospital-based clinical pharmacy practice, with a focus on advanced topics in the area of Infectious Diseases and an emphasis on the role of pharmacotherapy. As an extension of PHM 203 (PCT 4: The Pharmacotherapy of Infectious Diseases), students will be introduced to more complicated and nuanced clinical syndromes, such as nosocomial-acquired infections and infections in immunocompromised hosts. The course will be taught using a combination of classroom lectures, case-based discussions, small-group and self-directed learning. Student participation both within the classroom and group work assignments is expected.
