PMH 776 Advanced Psychopharmacology: Adults

Credits: 2
This course builds on the principles that were the focus of NURS 574A. Students will analyze and discuss the research and clinical evidence for prescribing psychopharmacologic agents based on target symptoms, neurobiological circuits to which these symptoms can be putatively attributed, and practice guidelines with an emphasis placed on interactive learning via case studies. This course will include the prescription of psychopharmacologic agents for adults with persistent, refractory symptoms; treating patients with comorbid substance abuse issues; and other complex clinical situations.
