Program Assessment Outcomes: Pharmacometrics Certificate Program
Student Learning Outcome 1
Students will be able to apply pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models to solve drug development and precision dosing problems.
Description of Assessment
Performance in PHAR 7380, PHAR 7381, and PHAR 7382. Course-embedded assignments in which students 1) use statistical software to understand and evaluate various pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) models and their assumptions in drug development research 2) use statistical principles related to PK and PD modeling and simulation activities and 3) critically assess various applications of pharmacometrics in conducting clinical pharmacology studies in drug development.
