Mastering Pharmacology - a Comprehensive Course

A Course to Prepare You for Medical & College Level Pharmacology
Last updated 5/2025
English

What you'll learn

  • Interpret and apply the various patterns of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination across drugs
  • Calculate the Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic effects of dosing interval, route of administration, etc.
  • Contrast the mechanisms of action of natural, synthetic, biological, and living drugs covered in this course
  • Discuss contraindications, adverse reactions, and therapeutic outcomes within the scope of medicine
  • Evaluate societal, interdisciplinary medical scenarios through written defense of knowledge, citing evidence
  • Develop skills in data interpretation, critical thinking, empathy, and accountability through in-class learning

Course content

3 sections • 13 lectures • 19h 30m total length
  • Intros, Medicine, Drug Basics1:03:18

    Welcome to the class! These slides and the list of assessable drugs are included here for free. We won't cover each named drug in class, rather focusing on key mechanistic examples from each system. Enjoy!

  • Drug Admin, Kinetics, and Dynamics2:00:09

    Explore drug administration, kinetics, and dynamics to understand how medications are used and how they exert effects. Build a foundation for safe, effective pharmacology practice.

  • Cholinergic, Autonomic, & Neuromuscular Drugs1:40:55

    Explore cholinergic, autonomic, and neuromuscular drugs, examining their mechanisms, clinical uses, and implications for pharmacology practice.

  • CNS Drugs1:55:05
  • Section 01 Quiz

Requirements

  • Introductory Biology
  • Genetics and/or Human Physiology (or molecular equivalent)

Description

This course will allow you to explore classical and modern Pharmacology through multidisciplinary perspectives. You'll explore the core approach behind medical treatment, drug origins, mechanisms, and the history behind different classes. We’ll articulate the future of Pharmacology, exploring how this field is set to continue its massive contributions to Medicine. We’ll be able to explore a myriad of interdisciplinary topics because Pharmacology is one of the most interconnected sub-disciplines as well. Special emphasis will be placed on principles that carry real-life and/or medical relevance. This was is designed to be comprehensive, serving as an excellent resource for undergraduates, medical post-graduates building more knowledge in preparation for key courses (or the MCAT or DAT) and clinical rotations, and Biology experts seeking to grow their expanse.


Your purchase includes 19+ hours of Comprehensive video lectures, 700+ PDF key info slides, and 15+ Exam questions + guided answers.


Life is a special phenomenon, possibly unique to this single planet in a massive universe. The emergence of life, consciousness, and creativity from non-living matter is one of the most important processes to ever occur, and the ability to pass on similar (but varied) instructions to offspring allows this. The interactions within and between living organisms gives us an understanding beyond ourselves and how we can apply our unique gift as humans to do the most good. Our future needs leaders that understand Medicine and Biology for this to take place. This class seeks to take you through and then beyond the books to explore what about life, humanity, and everything in between makes this world special, granting specific attention to how medication functions at the molecular level.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for intermediate biologists interested in adding Pharmacology experience to better grasp its established role in medicine and health. That, and you can gain details that can help you on advanced MCAT Biology sections.
