This course integrates principles of pharmacology of chemotherapeutic drugs. and designed to provide students with the essential therapeutic knowledge, principles and concepts needed for providing pharmaceutical care to patients suffering from infectious diseases. Emphasis will be placed on integrating epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, treatment options and guidelines, disease state management including the rationale of drug therapy selection, as well as addressing drug therapy related problems
Bachelor of Pharmacy - PharmD
1.1 Classify the major anti-infective drug groups used in the management of infectious diseases and identify representative agents.
1.2Explain the mechanisms of action and pharmacological properties of anti-infective drugs used in the management of infectious diseases.
1.3 Describe clinically relevant pharmacokinetic considerations, contraindications, adverse effects, and drug-drug and drug-food interactions of anti-infective drugs.
2.1 Retrieve, interpret, and critically evaluate evidence-based drug information and current clinical guidelines to support therapeutic decisions in infectious diseases.
3.1 Relate the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, laboratory findings, and clinical features of infectious diseases to their pharmacotherapeutic approaches.
3.2 Recommend safe and rational anti-infective pharmacotherapy, including appropriate drug selection and dosage regimens, based on patient-, disease-, and drug-specific factors.
3.3 Design and monitor individualized patient-centered care plans for infectious diseases, including therapeutic goals, monitoring parameters, and management of drug-related problems.
4.1 Demonstrate responsibility for team performance and effective time management during tutorial and case-based activities.
4.4 Practice independent and self-directed learning for continuous professional development.
4.3 Communicate pharmacotherapeutic recommendations effectively in oral and written formats using appropriate presentation technologies and media.
4.2 Apply critical-thinking and problem-solving skills to infectious-disease pharmacotherapy cases independently and collaboratively.
