The aim of the course is to provide students with a sound knowledge of the following topics:
1) pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the main classes of drugs;
2) adverse drug reactions and drug-drug interactions;
3) principles of drug action at the cellular, subcellular and molecular levels;
4) principles of clinical and preclinical pharmacology.

Type of evaluation
Two intercourse written assessments will be made, consisting of open questions and multiple-choice questions. The evaluation of each test will be in 30/30. Students who will get a score of at least 18 in each test will pass the exam, with a score corresponding to the average score of the two tests . Alternatively, students may also decide to have a single oral exam on the entire program of the course, with an overall evaluation in 30/30.
