This elective is designed to give graduate students some first hand knowledge of pharmacology in the Hospital or clinic. Students will have the opportunity of joining a clinician seeing/treating patients in the Hospital or in a clinic. This experience will vary as a function of the particular clinician the student is teamed up with but will typically involve a review of the drugs being used, mechanisms of action, modes of administration, toxicities, costs and other considerations in drug use. On inpatient units the students will also join rounds, learning the roles that housestaff, nurses, pharmacist, specialty fellow and others play in patient care. Typically a written report or presentation is expected at the end of the elective.
