Syllabus

Course Objectives

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES: The teaching is part of the specific objectives of the study course aimed at training a professional figure able to: Know and understand the concepts of general pharmacology and the main classes of drugs (mechanisms of action, indications therapeutic, side effects).
In particular, the Pharmacology course aims to allow the student to develop:
- the principles of pharmacokinetics (the path of the drug within the human organism, assessed in its qualitative / quantitative aspects) and of pharmacodynamics (drug / target interactions and analysis of the dose-response relationship);
- adequate knowledge on some drugs, on the phases of development of a new drug and the basic principles of pharmacogenomics
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS
At the end of the course the student, as far as he is competent, will be able to know the pharmacological basis of the therapy; the principles of the genomic drug. The course will help to provide the tools that will enable the student to enhance his ability to relate in team with other professional figures (doctors, psychologists, health assistants, etc.) who are involved in patient care.
The student will also be able to provide explanations to the patient and / or his family about the benefits and risks of drug therapy.
Finally, the course will help provide the student with the tools necessary to understand and participate in the different stages of drug development.

Course Prerequisites

As stated by academic rules

Teaching Methods

The course includes lectures and interactive lessons.
The course aims to provide the theoretical basis necessary for a reasoned understanding of what the drug produces once it has been introduced into the human organism (pharmacodynamics) taking into account how it is distributed and modified in the organism itself (pharmacokinetics). At the same time, special care will be taken in linking theoretical knowledge with the evidence emerging from the use of drugs as tools of therapeutic armamentarium. In itinere will be proposed exercises (multiple choice tests) to verify the level of personal learning on the different topics covered

Assessment Methods

The student must sign to the exam on Esse3. The learning will be evaluated through a final assessment, which is an oral one aimed at providing a balanced assessment of the achievement of the objectives of the Core Curriculum.
If the teacher cannot be present in the commission, a questionnaire of 15 multiple choice questions will be distributed (only one correct answer)
The examination procedure and its evaluation are indicated by the teacher at the beginning of the lessons.

Contents

The course includes two sections:
1) General pharmacology. This section describes the principles that underlie the human-drug interactions and that in turn are divided into two chapters, the one related to Pharmacokinetics (the effects that the body has on drugs) and the one on Pharmacodynamics (the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the therapeutic, unwanted and toxic effects of drugs).
2) Special Pharmacology. This section describes the characteristics of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the phases of development of a new drug and the basic principles of pharmacogenomics.
