Follow the Path to Understand Pharmacology

Posted on | by Amy Siple

Many pharmacologic agents block or mimic a few key neurotransmitters in the human body. Acquiring an understanding of the roles of these neurotransmitters equips learners with practical application tools to advance pharmacologic knowledge. This interactive presentation is designed to engage learners in understanding pharmacologic content that applies to current agents and those yet to be brought to market.

Learning Outcomes

  • Participants will identify how understanding the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system aids in understanding several pharmacologic agents.
  • Participants will identify the role of dopamine in the body and the impact of blocking or mimicking it.
  • Participants will identify the role of serotonin in the body and the impact of blocking or mimicking it.
