Didactic work in the second year involves drug regulatory science. The Clinical Pharmacology Training Program of instruction permits flexibility to accommodate the needs and interests of the trainee. Upon successful completion of the training, fellows licensed to practice medicine in the United States of America will be eligible to take the certification examination of the American Board of Clinical Pharmacology. Trainees must attend clinical, basic sciences, and research conferences, as well as seminars, and critical literature review activities pertaining to clinical pharmacology. Conferences and seminars will be scheduled weekly throughout the academic year.
Trainees participate in planning and conducting conferences.
Faculty and trainee attendance and participation at multidisciplinary conferences is expected. Details regarding conference and seminar participation are contained in Appendix D. Trainees have appropriate supervised opportunities to develop skills in providing consultation and in communication with colleagues and referring physicians. These skills are reviewed every six months by the Trainee Evaluation Committee. The program provides trainees with the opportunity to teach medical students, physicians, and other professional personnel. Teaching of medical students occurs in the M2 Medical Pharmacology course.
