Curriculum design
The curriculum is designed to provide students with knowledge of the latest treatment modalities in clinical pharmacology through interactive guest lectures and working groups. Students will have the opportunity to design their own guidelines, conduct a medication review on their grandparents, and stay up-to-date with knowledge about the latest party drugs and toxidromes. Additionally, innovative educational methods, such as creating an Escape Room, will be incorporated (Can Students Create Their Own Educational Escape Room? Lessons Learned from the Opioid Crisis Escape Room – PubMed (nih.gov)/Educational escape room on Vimeo).
