The student may lack a maximum of one passed course from the first year of study. The partial exam in drug calculations in the course FARB1400 is exempt from the progression requirement.

After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• can explain basic pharmacodynamic concepts and pharmacokinetic processes
• can describe the structure and function of the peripheral nervous system, central nervous system, endocrine system, musculoskeletal system and digestive system
• can explain how the function of the above-mentioned organ systems can be regulated
• can explain the cellular/molecular mechanisms of action of pharmaceuticals and endogenous signal molecules related to the above-mentioned organ systems, including target molecules and signalling pathways
• can explain the pharmacological effects and probable side effects of relevant drug classes
• can explain the connection between physiology, pathophysiology and the principles of drug treatment of selected therapeutic areas

Skills

The student

• can perform basic pharmacokinetic calculations
• can apply knowledge of mechanisms of action, effects and side-effects in the assessment of drug treatment of selected therapeutic areas
• can communicate and discuss relevant subject matter with fellow students
• can work individually and in groups using a problem-based approach to relevant subject matter

General competence  

The student

• can demonstrate an awareness of drug use in selected therapeutic areas
• can familiarise himself/herself with the mechanisms of action of new drugs and the treatment principles of selected therapeutic areas
