This course is an online lecture series covering the fundamentals of clinical pharmacology as a translational scientific discipline focused on rational drug development and utilization in therapeutics. The course focuses on the following core principles of pharmacology: pharmacokinetics; drug metabolism and transport; drug therapy in special populations; assessment of drug effects; drug discovery and development; pharmacogenomics and pharmacotherapy.
This course will be of interest to graduate students, posts-doctoral scholars, medical and pharmacy students, scientists, and health professionals interested in expanding their pharmacology knowledge base.

Henry Hitner earned a bachelor of science degree in biology from Moravian College
in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and spent several years working in the pharmaceutical
industry, first as a research assistant in toxicology for Wyeth Laboratories and then
as a research pharmacologist for National Drug Company, both in Philadelphia. During
this time he earned a master of education degree in biology from West Chester University.
He attended graduate school at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia,
where he earned a PhD in pharmacology. Dr. Hitner then went into academia, where
he held numerous faculty positions, first as an instructor of biology and allied health
sciences at Montgomery County Community College, followed by 30 years of teaching
and research at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). At PCOM
he served as professor and vice chair of the neuroscience, physiology, and pharmacology
department. Other positions included director of the animal facility and chair of the
institutional animal care and utilization committee. Professional memberships included
the Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society and the American Society for Pharmacology
and Experimental Therapeutics. He was the recipient of the Lindback Foundation Award
for Distinguished Teaching and a Mentor Award from the National Student Association.
Henry and his wife Carlotta enjoy traveling, the beach, and time spent with family and
their nine grandchildren.
Michele B. Kaufman, a Pharmacist at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Lower Manhattan Hospital, is also a Board Certified Geriatric and Registered Pharmacist. She has over 30 years of pharmacy experience, and earned her Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from the University of Rhode Island (URI) College of Pharmacy, Kingston. She has worked as a Product Development Pharmacist in New Jersey, and as a Hospital Pharmacist at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, before returning to New England (Boston), to obtain a Doctor of Pharmacy at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy/AHS. Subsequently, she completed a Fellowship in Drug Information (DI) at the URI DI Center/RWMC in Providence. Dr. Kaufman then became a Clinical Assistant Professor at St. John's University, Jamaica, New York, specializing in DI/Adult Medicine (clinical site @ LIJMC). After several years in academia she became a Geriatric Clinical Pharmacist in Corporate Managed Care, where she stayed for over a decade. She then left to pursue medical writing and health-system pharmacy practice. She is an active member of professional organizations, including American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, the American Medical Writers Association, the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, the New York State Council of Health-System Pharmacists, the New York City Society of Health-System Pharmacists (NYCSHP), and SWINY. She is a member of the Clinical Care Committee at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center (NYC). She has mentored numerous students throughout her years, and co-authored and published her first book (2019), a health careers book for middle grade ages and up, Healthcare Heroes: The Medical Careers Guide. She is the past recipient of two prestigious awards from NYCSHP, the Harold Neham Award (2006) for dedication and commitment to pharmacy practice and literature; and the xviii-B Joel Yellin Award (2011), honoring significant pharmacy practice contribution. When not working, Michele enjoys traveling, spending time with family and friends, exploring new cultures, and playing musical instruments, mostly the saxophone.
Hannah (Cooke) Ariel received her Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She was recruited by the Harvard Affiliated Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, serving as a clinical pharmacist in Cardiology and General Medicine, with an adjunct appointment at Harvard Medical School as a Clinical Assistant Professor, and a full-time pharmacy practice appointment as Associate Professor of Pharmacy Practice at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston, Massachusetts.

Pharmacology is the science of drugs and medications,[1] including a substance's origin, composition, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, therapeutic use, and toxicology. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function.[2] If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.
The field encompasses drug composition and properties, functions, sources, synthesis and drug design, molecular and cellular mechanisms, organ/systems mechanisms, signal transduction/cellular communication, molecular diagnostics, interactions, chemical biology, therapy, and medical applications and antipathogenic capabilities. The two main areas of pharmacology are pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamics studies the effects of a drug on biological systems, and pharmacokinetics studies the effects of biological systems on a drug. In broad terms, pharmacodynamics discusses the chemicals with biological receptors, and pharmacokinetics discusses the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of chemicals from the biological systems.
Pharmacology is not synonymous with pharmacy and the two terms are frequently confused. Pharmacology, a biomedical science, deals with the research, discovery, and characterization of chemicals which show biological effects and the elucidation of cellular and organismal function in relation to these chemicals. In contrast, pharmacy, a health services profession, is concerned with the application of the principles learned from pharmacology in its clinical settings; whether it be in a dispensing or clinical care role. In either field, the primary contrast between the two is their distinctions between direct-patient care, pharmacy practice, and the science-oriented research field, driven by pharmacology.
The word pharmacology is derived from Greek word φάρμακον, pharmakon, meaning "drug" or "poison", together with another Greek word -λογία, logia with the meaning of "study of" or "knowledge of"[3][4] (cf. the etymology of pharmacy). Pharmakon is related to pharmakos, the ritualistic sacrifice or exile of a human scapegoat or victim in Ancient Greek religion.
