PHARM will be an twelve-session course with two educational goals. The first goal is for the dental student to develop a sound understanding of the rationale, indications, and contraindications for prescribing pharmacologic agents during dental care. The second goal is for the dental student to consider the implications for other pharmacologic agents that the patient may be taking when presenting for dental care. Students will be assigned pre-session topics to study prior to each scheduled class. During the scheduled seminars, the course director will facilitate case-based discussions. Participation will be verified with random quizzes throughout the course. Assessment will be accomplished by two written examinations. Successful completion of PHARM will be required to progress to the D3 year.
