Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- 1. Pharmaceutical expertise: Use a foundation of concepts and knowledge in health sciences and pharmaceutical sciences.
- Understand and integrate the fundamental sciences (chemistry, physics, biology, botany) involved in the specific fields of pharmaceutical sciences
- Understand and apply mathematical translations of large models and chemical and/or biological phenomena through abstract reasoning
- Understand and use different graphical representations of numerical values and their relationships
- Understand the chronology of a phenomenon and master the time scales and their representations
- Understand how the human body works by using knowledge of anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, immunology, microbiology and pathology under the dual approach of normal and pathological conditions in order to understand the action of medications on the body.
- Understand the basic concepts of pharmacology and pharmacokinetics
- 2. Scientific method: Solve pharmaceutical problems using their knowledge and critical mind.
- Use a hypothesis in inductive, deductive or abductive reasoning
- Develop a critical, practical and analytical mind
- Manage doubt and uncertainty
- 3. Communication: Communicate in an appropriate, efficient, rigorous and respectful way in a professional perspective.
- Understand the basic rules of French and of English (grammar, punctuation, connectors, etc.).
- Use a rich vocabulary linking concepts and words accurately
- Work in a team
- 5. Quality: Assess themself, expand their knowledge and adapt their attitude.
- Manage time
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this course, the student will be able to understand the physiology of cells in general and of excitable cells in particular. He will know the principles of homeostasie and body fluid regulation.
He will have notion about tissues organization and cellular signalling. He will understand how the circulatory and the respiratory systems are working, the main pathologies related to these systems and the mechanisms of action of drugs.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
