A course on functions of the blood, circulation, respiration, muscle, nervous system, the senses, gastrointestinal tract,
kidney, immunology, endocrinology and organs of reproduction. Particular emphasis is placed on homeostatic mechanisms
maintaining normal functions of the body. Many of these mechanisms are explained in detail at the cellular level.
The course includes lectures and a self-directed active learning component involving computer simulations.

Attaining the correct concentration of a drug at its site of action for a therapeutically useful period is the result
of the selection, formulation, and administration of an appropriate dosage form. This course considers the scientific
and technical aspects important in dosage form design. The lectures and practical laboratory experiences emphasize the
role of biopharmaceutics, preformulation and physical pharmacy in the development of safe and effective dosage forms.

Pharmaceutical Care Ia is the first of four sequential courses dealing with therapeutics. It applies a pharmaceutical
care process to the therapeutics of mild and/or self-limiting conditions, and is an exploration of the pharmacist’s role
in self-medication. Criteria for appropriateness of self-care versus prescription medications are developed, and
fundamental principles of self-care are based on selection and use of non-drug and non-prescription drug alternatives
as well as moral, ethical and legal responsibilities. The course is divided into a knowledge component, which is based
entirely on self-directed, problem-based learning; and a skills lab component. During the skills lab, individual students
chosen at random will apply the content they have prepared to simulated cases by working through a therapeutic thought
process, solving and identifying drug-related problems and developing a care plan for the patient, as members of a panel
discussion. All students will use audience response meters to respond to class content issues. Other course activities
include peer teaching and role-playing. Learning support for the course includes an extensive website, containing archived
material, online interactive cases, and conferencing.

A presentation of the chemical and biochemical determinants of therapeutic action. Basic concepts are discussed in the
context of the physical-chemical properties of the drug, the fate of the drug upon administration, and the nature of the
biochemical systems with which drugs interact to achieve their therapeutic effects.

PHM227H - Health Systems in Society I |
| Time & Location: |
|
Building on their learning in PHM120Y1, students will extend their understanding of the evolving structure, financing,
regulation and policy concerns of the Canadian health care system, further develop their skills in ethical analysis and
apply to health-care relevant examples some basic principles of public policy analysis, political science, economics and
other relevant disciplines. Students will also be exposed to some international drug issues and how they compare with
Canada’s pharmaceutical system. The course emphasizes literature review, critical analysis and writing skills. Case studies
are included.

Professional Practice II continues to develop and expand upon material from Professional Practice I. The theoretical
aspects of applied pharmacotherapy and extemporaneous compounding will form the basis of cases in problem-based sessions
that focus on application of the principles.

The Professional Practice II Laboratory course continues to develop principles and skills of pharmacy practice through
pre-laboratory discussions, simulated pharmacy practice laboratories, Patient Care Communication (PCC) Skills sessions and
hospital pharmacy site visits. Students participate in laboratory sessions to apply the concepts learned in Professional
Practice II lectures. The pre-laboratory discussions focus on specific skills and information to be implemented during the
laboratory sessions. The simulated pharmacy practice laboratories allow students to develop a structured approach to the
technical and legal aspects of pharmacy practice by accurately dispensing prescriptions and preparing elegantly compounded
pharmaceutical products that are individualized to meet a patient’s needs . Students also participate in Patient Care
Communication Skills sessions having prepared the appropriate information to educate a ‘patient’ about medication available
in a specific dosage form, after gathering information from that patient. Hospital Site Visits (HSV) provide students with
the opportunity to observe the role and develop the skills of a pharmacist as a hospital healthcare professional and provider
of pharmaceutical care during direct patient care.
