In this innovative and fascinating course, young students will be invited to dive into the wonderful world of pharmacology, a field that serves as a central junction for integrating knowledge from science, medicine, and technology. Through a multidisciplinary and experiential approach, we will closely examine the wide spectrum of drugs and their central role as an influential factor in treating various medical conditions.

Initially, we will explore the rich typology of existing drugs and their various dosage forms. We will then study the complex process of developing new drugs, from initial research stages to the extensive clinical trials required before their approval for use. These insights will provide us with a deep appreciation for the scientific work and regulatory challenges involved in making drugs accessible to the medical community and the general public.

Furthermore, we will expand our knowledge around the issue of bacterial resistance to antibiotics – one of the most serious threats to medical achievements today. Through a detailed examination of the history and mechanisms of action of these drugs, we will gain awareness of the critical need for intelligent and responsible use of these means to preserve their effectiveness over time.

Another significant focus of the course will be understanding drug applications that form a key component in treating specific medical conditions such as heart diseases, asthma, diabetes, and cancer. Incorporating these unique drugs into the syllabus will allow students to deepen their understanding of the physiological complexity of these conditions, alongside recognizing the crucial role that drugs play in preventing and treating these disorders.

At the core of the course will be the implementation of meta-cognitive skills, achieved through discussions, experiential activities, and practical case studies. Thus, students will acquire critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork – essential for shaping an informed perception of drug therapy and its optimal application in the clinical arena.

Beyond the scientific and practical aspects, the course will not overlook the social and ethical implications of pharmacology. Discourse on these complex issues will lead students to internalize the importance of responsible and considerate drug consumption, and support for accessible and fair health services for the entire population.
