Course Overview 

The Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics Short-Term Course is designed to build foundational knowledge of how drugs interact with the human body and how these interactions influence clinical decisions. This course bridges pharmacological principles with real-world therapeutic applications across diverse clinical settings.

Participants will explore how medications affect different body systems, understand the mechanisms of drug action, learn dosage calculations, and examine therapeutic strategies based on evidence-based practice. The curriculum also emphasizes safe prescribing, monitoring adverse drug reactions, and understanding the regulatory aspects of pharmacology in healthcare systems.

Through engaging lectures, case-based discussions, and relevant resources, students will gain a deeper understanding of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug interactions, and clinical decision-making. The course encourages critical thinking in the context of patient care, without offering or promising clinical results or outcomes.

Whether you're a student, researcher, or healthcare professional, this course aims to provide a structured learning experience that supports your academic and professional development in the field of pharmacology and therapeutics.
