An introduction to the concepts of clinical microbiology through a survey of the microbial diseases of man using an organ system approach.
This course integrates and applies the principles and tools of epidemiology and biostatistics to decision-making in the health care environment. Core epidemiology and biostatistics concepts and analytic methods will be explored in the context of the role of DNP leaders. The focus of the course is on critical appraisal and interpretation of data obtained through epidemiological investigations and statistical analyses in evaluating population and clinical outcomes and in making strategic clinical and organizational decisions.
This course examines environmental policymaking, primarily in the context of the United States. Consideration will be given to how environmental policy is adopted and implemented in a federal system. In addition, environmental regulations will be evaluated and policy alternatives will be analyzed. This course will take you through the important players in the environmental policy process, the significant factors related to policy development, adoption and implementation and a series of current environmental issues.
This is the second course in the six-semester Patient-Centered Care Experience (PaCE) course sequence that is part of the pre-APPE curriculum. The PaCE course structure integrates PY1, PY2, and PY3 students into concurrent weekly laboratory sessions and intermittent complementary experiential fieldwork experiences. The course is designed to assist in developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to fulfill the professional and technical responsibilities necessary to provide patient-centered care and manage the medication use system.
Pharmacokinetics is the study of drug movement from its site of administration, to its distribution in the body and its elimination (via excretion and metabolism) from the body. Pharmacodynamics is the study of timecourse of drug response and those factors associated with the clinical outcome.
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the principles that underlie drug delivery. The course is divided into three components; 1) basics of drug preformulation, including solubility and stability; 2) dosage form design and properties; and 3) formulation and manufacturing of dosage forms.
To develop pharmacists who can provide patient-centered care that focuses on general health, wellness, and disease prevention and who can recommend appropriate self-care therapy for commonly encountered conditions and symptoms.
This course will describe the pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pathophysiology, and therapeutics associated with of commonly encountered infectious diseases so that students can design and manage drug-related care plans for patients with these disease states.
Course will describe the pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pathophysiology, and therapeutics associated with of commonly encountered gastrointestinal and nutritional disorders so that students can design and manage drug-related care plans for patients with these disease states.
