PCEUT 506 Pharmaceutical Principles (4)
Shen. Coverage of basic pharmacokinetic concepts in an interactive format. Students are given reading assignments prior to class as a point of entry into the material. Topics emphasize the physiologic basic for mathematical models of drug distribution, clearance, and pharmacologic effect. Offered: W.

PCEUT 507 Topics in Clinical Pharmacokinetics (1, max. 12)
Gibaldi. New and important findings and trends in pharmacokinetics, biopharmaceutics, drug metabolism, and drug toxicity, with particular emphasis on clinical significance and applicability. Credit/no credit only. Prerequisite: PCEUT 405 or equivalent. Offered: AWSp.

PCEUT 510 Pharmacokinetics of Drug Interactions (3)
Shen. Common pharmacokineticmechanisms underlying the clinically important interactions between drugs. Interactions involving gastrointestinal absorption, serum drug protein binding, excretory and metabolic clearance processes. Prerequisite: 406 or equivalent. Offered: Sp.

PCEUT 520 Seminar (1, max. 5)
