The course in Principles of Clinical Pharmacology is based on a series of lectures that cover much of the scientific basis of the bridging discipline of clinical pharmacology. Formal lectures will be supplemented by syllabus material and self-study exercises prepared by the course faculty.
The course is an integral part of the ClinPRAT NIH intramural clinical pharmacology training program and is meant to complement the Clinical Center's course on Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research .
Since most medical schools lack a formal course in clinical pharmacology, this course is also designed to assist individuals preparing to take the certifying examinations of the American Board of Clinical Pharmacology and to meet the needs of researchers who have an interest in the clinical pharmacologic aspects of contemporary drug development and utilization.
The course provides an introductory review of pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism and transport, assessment of drug effects, drug therapy in special populations, and contemporary drug development. The course is offered yearly at the NIH Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center and runs from September through April, one evening a week.
The course is open to all interested persons without charge.
