In clinical studies, students are first taught general pharmacology and toxicology in lectures and seminars in module 1. In addition, applied pharmacology is taught as a cross-sectional subject _9 (Q9) in modules 2, 3, 4 and 5. In addition, there are a total of six revision courses in the longitudinal course (L6, L7, L8), which serve to deepen the learning content.
It is common practice to divide the broad field of pharmacology into pharmacodynamics, i.e. the phenomena and processes that an active substance triggers in the human body, and pharmacokinetics, i.e. the processes and influences that the body exerts on the active substances.
Similarly, we speak of toxicodynamics and toxicokinetics when we are dealing with substances that have predominantly undesirable effects in the organism. The focus is on the rational use of medicinal products and teaching is closely based on the content of the individual modules.
