Course history

Introduction

Pharmacology is the study of drugs, their action and application. The course deals with basic knowledge of pharmacology, which is a precondition for responsible drugs administration. Drug calculations are part of the course. The students take part in the interdisciplinary course INTER1100.

INTER1100 The Same Child - Different Arenas (1.5 credits)

INTER 1100 ‘The Same Child - Different Arenas’ is part of the teaching project Interprofessional Interaction with Children and Youth (INTERACT), which takes place across the programmes of professional study at OsloMet. The goal is to increase the quality of the programmes of professional study that focus on children and young people. Through INTERACT, students acquire research-based knowledge about the everyday lives of children and young people, as well as practice in cooperating with students from other programmes. In this way, INTERACT forms the basis for improved coordination of society’s services directed at children and young people and their parents/guardians. INTER1100 ‘The Same Child - Different Arenas’ makes up the first module of INTERACT.

INTER1100 provides a common academic platform for all students involved. It is about becoming more aware and gain more knowledge about your own and other people’s programmes of professional study that target children and young people's upbringing.
