Course Content (Syllabus)
The course is taught in a total of five semesters (6th - 10th) and its 5 ECTS are distributed equally in each semester (1 ECTS/ semester), but there is one single final grade, calculated at the end of the 10th semester. The material taught in each semester corresponds to the content of the clinical courses taught in that same semester, in the context of the integrated nature of the clinical courses. In short: Pharmacology of disorders of the sensory organs, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal system, the musculoskeletal system, and the urinogenital system. Chemotherapeutic agents for bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. Cancer chemotherapeutics. Immunomodulatory drugs. Toxins/poisons.
