General Principles Of Pharmacology (Fullagonist)
Requirements
- Those who enroll in this course, whether students, residents, or physicians, should already be familiar with basic medical subjects. If not, that's not an issue because I will also provide reminders
Description
Welcome to the Fullagonist General Pharmacology course! These lectures are designed to provide medical students, residents, and doctors in training with the essential knowledge and skills required to use the knowledge of pharmacology in their clinical practice.
Here's what you can expect to learn:
First of all, you will learn about the drug approval process in clinical trials. Additionally, you will study, how to approach the subject in order to study well.
In the Pharmacokinetics chapter, you will study how drugs are absorbed, and why does environment has a huge role. how and where are drugs distributed, and how drugs are metabolized and eliminated.
In the Pharmacodynamics chapter, you will learn about types of receptors, examples of their activators, drug-receptor interactions, and the relationship between drug dose and clinical response.
In the Pharmacogenomics chapter, you will learn what is pharmacogenomics, you will understand how genetics influence treatment, how genetics lead to unique side effects, and why a drug may work for one person but not another.
Finally, you'll learn about remarkable pregnancy-related physiological changes, and why your treatment during pregnancy and lactation must be different to avoid a catastrophic outcome - teratogenesis. After this lecture, you will not be afraid of giving a drug to your pregnant patient or nursing mother.

I am a cardiologist, working in a Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit where I manage patients with advanced cardiovascular disorders. In addition to my clinical practice, I have seven years of experience teaching basic and clinical pharmacology to international medical students.
I have successfully passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK). I am a strong advocate for continuing medical education and hold international certifications and training from esteemed organizations, including:
European Resuscitation Council: Basic Life Support (BLS)
American Heart Association: Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
American College of Surgeons: Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)
I believe that pharmacology is the most important medical subject a student or resident can study. It is the discipline that truly defines the role of a doctor, as it provides the foundation for understanding and delivering effective treatments. I strongly advocate for medical education to be free and accessible to everyone. Enhancing the level of medical knowledge worldwide will significantly impact global healthcare. By improving pharmacological knowledge, we not only enhance individual competency but also contribute to better patient outcomes and higher healthcare standards globally.
I am always open to new opportunities that align with my skills and passion for advancing healthcare and medical education.
