The
Education Resource Center provides links to internet sites
that maintain computer-based educational programs suitable for medical students taking
pharmacology. You will find interactive pharmacology reviews, "virtual" labs,
and a program for taking self-designed quizzes to assess your knowledge. The sites are
located at Pharmacology Departments in well known Schools of Medicine, and provide novel
study aids for pharmacology. Different units of the learning programs can generally be
completed in less than 30-45 min. We hope you will find them rewarding as study aids, and
efficient with your time.
To insure speedy and reliable
interactions when using interactive educational programs, use a computer with an ethernet
adapter, a direct network line, and an up-to-date internet browser. If your home PC only
has a modem link to the NYMC intranet, consider using a PC in the Computer Laboratory in
the Learning Center instead.
The Pharmacology News Center has a different
function. Medical Pharmacology provides instruction on the basic principles of
pharmacology and the characteristics of major therapeutics. Clinical rotations in the 3rd
and 4th years provide instruction in the "clinical art" of using drugs. Such
instruction, however, is only the beginning of a physician’s education in
pharmacology. Your career demands continual study of new drugs being introduced and their
scientific background. The Pharmacology News Center provides links to internet sites that
rapidly report new developments in medical science and pharmacology of interest to
physicians. Most of the links were designed for physicians, and provide a time-efficient
medium for reviewing the latest news in pharmacology. We hope these links will demonstrate
the variety and potential value of internet information resources, and facilitate efforts
to stay up-to-date in your profession.
Introduction to MEDICAL PHARMACOLOGY provides
information on the Medical Pharmacology Course. This includes course objectives, teaching
formats and philosophies, student evaluation procedures, and recommendations for study. A
hardcopy version of this site is included in the Course Syllabus handed out at the
beginning of the course.
Finally, the Other Resources page is designed to provide
additional information or novel internet links that students may request during the
course, or that the pharmacology faculty think you might find of potential interest.
