GMED G660 - Biomedical Principles of Disease and Therapy
Credits: 3
Presents core concepts underlying organisms of infectious disease, disease vectors, modes of transmission, mechanisms of pathogenesis, and pharmacologic principles of treatment. These principles lay the foundation to an understanding of the infectious diseases of the different organ systems and a basic epidemiologic approach to prevention and treatment. In addition, basic principles of pharmacokinetics will be discussed as related to an understanding of the development of therapeutic regimens, the importance of pharmacogenomics, manipulation of kinetics for enhanced therapeutic response or treatment of drug overdose, and avoidance of adverse drug interactions. Pharmacodynamics will explore the mechanisms of drug action as related to receptor signaling mechanisms, mechanisms of resistance, toxicity and margins of safety.
Note: Restricted to medical students
