Pharmacy 621 – Pharmacokinetics
This is a required course for the PharmD students. This course covers fundamental principles of pharmacokinetics, including the core processes of drug disposition (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion). All pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics principles and concepts are further described in depth in terms of their clinical applications with an emphasis on the role of the pharmacy professional.
PHMSCI 756 – Introduction to Data Analyses in Drug Development
This is an elective course for the MS in Applied Drug Development students and the PharmD students accepted in Path of Distinction in Applied Drug Development. This course provides a high-level overview of how computer-based data analysis techniques augment the drug discovery and development process. This course focuses on project-based skills-building through the application of industry-standard software programs including physiologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK).
Professional Development Course – Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics
This is a summer short course designed for pharmaceutical scientists who want to learn the essential elements of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PKPD). Through this course, you will learn foundational concepts of PK such as clearance, exposure, and bioavailability and how they are applied in drug development. Basic mathematical equations will also be explained; however, the focus will be on higher level concepts and not complex math. Fundamental PD concepts will also be described, and the inseparable relationship between PK and PD will be discussed. This course is an online course with live and recorded components. There are 4 live webinar sessions designed for student/faculty interaction. To sign up, visit ce.pharmacy.wisc.edu/pd/pkpd/.
