The course will provide participants with a comprehensive overview of pharmacokinetics by integrating concepts in physiology and mathematics. At the end of this seminar, attendees will understand how to design pharmacokinetic studies, evaluate pharmacokinetic data, and predict the effect of physiological and formulation changes on the pharmacokinetics of drugs. Your instructor will provide an overview of the anatomy and physiology of organ systems relevant to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, explain pharmacokinetic concepts after intravenous doses and oral doses, in bioavailability and bioequivalence, biopharmaceutics, and clearance. Understanding of theoretical principles will be facilitated by numerous practical examples from the literature, and through case studies. Periodic review and reinforcement of important concepts will be achieved through discussions, and completion of a series of in-class assignments.
