One Month Months Offered August or January Students will participate in discussion and review of several aspects of toxicology including heavy metals, gaseous poisons, industrial and agricultural chemicals, poisonous plants and venoms.
Emphasis is on human toxicology and includes selected reports to be presented by enrollees.
Interacting with a faculty of pharmacologists, physicians and clinical pharmacists, students will study rational approaches to drug therapy. Readings, discussions, case histories and clinic visits will be utilized. An additional goal of this course is for students to understand the process for clinical development of new drugs. Therapy areas to be covered will depend upon interests of enrollees. May Students may elect to study in depth a specific area in Pharmacology and Toxicology under the guidance of one or more faculty members most familiar with that specific area.
