Why Medical Science Institute

Study Clinical Pharmacokinetics with MSI

Clinical Pharmacokinetics explores the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs in the human body. This course integrates principles from pharmacology and physiology to understand how drugs interact within biological systems. Through theoretical study and practical applications, students will gain insights into drug dosing, therapeutic monitoring, and the impact of physiological factors on drug behavior.

Understand the basic principles and concepts of pharmacokinetics.
Apply pharmacokinetic principles to calculate drug dosages and design therapeutic regimens.
Analyze how physiological factors influence drug pharmacokinetics.
Interpret pharmacokinetic data to optimize drug therapy.
Explain the role of pharmacokinetics in personalized medicine and clinical practice.
