Revisit the principles of drug elimination, metabolism and pharmacokinetics, expanding and applying them in the context of therapeutic drug monitoring. Explore the concept of steady state and apply critical calculations to a clinical scenario to ensure accurate drug concentration maintenance within a therapeutic window.
“Clinical biochemistry is a complex subject area which requires applying fundamental knowledge in a variety of clinical areas. Students often struggle to connect the pathways required to integrate their knowledge, therefore using patient case studies allows the knowledge they have to be applied in real-life scenarios. This makes the reliance on memorising and recall less necessary.”
