Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

Learning Outcomes of UE

Rather than an indigestible catalog of molecules, drugs and activities, the UE aims to familiarize the student with the main pharmacological targets to help understand the modes of action and main side effects of drugs. At the end of this UE, the student will be able to identify the biochemical, physiological and pathological notions allowing to explain the possibilities of pharmacological modulation, their advantages and disadvantages.
