Learning Outcomes:
1. Explain structure-function relationships of drugs used for the management of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine, headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
2. Explain the pharmacology of drugs used for the management of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine, headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
3. Describe the pathophysiologic processes responsible for specific disease states and integrate this knowledge into the therapeutic decision making process.
4. Evaluate various therapeutic alternatives for a given disease state in light of specific patient factors and design a patient-specific pharmacotherapeutic regimen. This will include assessing the effectiveness of therapy on the basis of clinical and laboratory parameters.
5. Describe adverse effects associated with drugs used for the management of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine/headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
6. Design evidence-based drug therapy treatment plans for patients with ischemic heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, dementia/Alzheimer’s disease, seizure disorders, MS, migraine/headache, psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety/sleep disorders, ADHD, pediatric psychiatric disorders, eating disorder, pain management, neuropathic pain, narcolepsy, and substance dependence.
