- PHAR-F 684 Pharmacology - FWCME (6 cr.) Pathology of the organ systems will be presented by lectures, laboratory exercises, case studies, and pathology/medicine conferences. Etiologies, morphologic, physiologic changes will be noted; course coverage will be correlated with the Introduction to Clinical Medicine course as much as possible.
- PHAR-F 840 Advanced Pharmacology and Toxicology (3 cr.) Advanced studies of pharmacodynamic mechanisms in cardiovascular, central nervous system, and renal pharmacology and toxicology. Experimental design related to recent advances and current hypotheses concerning drug action and toxicity.
