This toxicology elective is designed to provide the student with introductory knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of action and clinical management of poisons. The course will begin with introductory concepts such as history, mechanisms of cell injury and toxicant disposition. The student will then be exposed to the fundamental principles of managing an acutely poisoned patient. Toxicology lectures on each major organ system will prepare students for group presentations. The aims of student presentations will be to achieve a greater understanding of the clinical management of the poisoned patient, and to hone presentation skills. To the extent that is feasible, the course will involve lectures, or other learning experiences, led by external specialists. The scope of poisons that will be discussed is broad, and includes environmental toxins, industrial toxicants, and drugs. Specific agents will include heavy metals, volatile solvents, common plant toxins, rodenticides, and several drugs. Students may be expected to participate in one laboratory exercise, wherein they will learn a fundamental method to characterize the mechanism and/or extent of cell death induced by a toxicant.
Prerequisite:
P-2 or P-3 standing or permission of the instructor

The Self-Directed (SD)-IPPE program is made up of three courses (SD-IPPE I, II, and III) over the span of the Pl through P3 years. Collectively these courses consist of a total of 20 hours of pharmacy-related, service-oriented learning. The Self-Directed Introductory Pharmacy Practice Experience (SD- IPPE) course is designed to expose students to various service-learning opportunities throughout their P 1 through P3 years. This experience consists of three components: participation in and development of service- learning projects, reflection, and self-directed learning. Students may develop their own experiences or participate in opportunities offered by the School or professional organizations. Requirements for service learning hours will increase as the student progresses through the curriculum.

Additional details are provided in the SDIPPE syllabus conveniently posted in E*Value.

This course focuses on the application of research design concepts and statistical techniques to design critically analyze and interpret multiple study designs. Understanding and practicing research methods are essential for pharmacists for two reasons. First, as a consumer of research, you will need to read and critically analyze published research. As a member of a health care team, you will need to maintain current awareness of the existing literature and its relevance to the case at hand. Second, as a provider of research, you will need the ability to validate your practice through scientific investigation (e.g. in the current healthcare arena it is expected that health care providers justify, through research, more of their practice).
Prerequisite:
P1 standing or instructor permission
