Graduate Courses

PHCL 510:   ADVANCED CLINICAL PHARMACOKINETICS (1+1)

This course is designed to acquaint the student with the fundamental concepts of clinical pharmacokinetics, particularly during chronic drug therapy. This understanding is of importance in view of changes in dosage requirements due to the changes in the state of the patient during course of the disease  and changes in hepatic and renal function that require adjustment in dosage regimens. Knowledge of these principles is necessary to select a drug product or to suggest a dosage regimen for an individual patient.

PHCL 520: DRUG INFORMATION AND RESEARCH DESIGN (1+1)

This course is designed to provide the student with practical experience in systematic literature retrieval, critical assessment of literature, and research design.

PHCL 570: RESEARCH (0+3)

This course is meant to allow the student to gain experience in research utilizing the principles and knowledge learned in PHCL 520, MATH 205, as well as undergraduate courses. The student must work closely with his advisor to select an appropriate project, design it, and carry it out. Since the course has neither lectures nor rigid format, the student shall meet regularly with his advisor as often as necessary so that he does not fall behind in carrying out the project. After selecting, designing and refining an appropriate project, the student will complete it over the course of two semesters (the 2nd semester of the first year and the 1st semester of the second year) receiving a grade of "incomplete" after the first semester. The final project must be presented in typewritten form, and of publishable quality. The completed project must be presented verbally to the faculty and defended. The course grade will be based on the quality of the scientific findings, quality of the final project, and on the oral presentation and defense.
