Pharmacology
Pharmacology is an essential field of study in medical technology that focuses on understanding the effects, mechanisms, and interactions of drugs in the human body. As a 3rd-year medical technology student, delving into pharmacology equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze and evaluate the efficacy and safety of various medications. By exploring drug classifications, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and adverse reactions, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how drugs are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted within the body. Additionally, studying pharmacology enables you to develop an understanding of drug-drug interactions, drug metabolism, and personalized medicine approaches, which are crucial in optimizing patient care and treatment outcomes. Through the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical application, pharmacology empowers medical technologists to contribute to the safe and effective use of medications in healthcare settings.
