2018 THERAPEUTICS UPDATE

Transcription

1 The Canadian Society of Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2018 THERAPEUTICS UPDATE Course Overview This one-day course on May 22, 2018 will explore emerging areas of interest in drug therapy and drug safety. Primary care physicians, pharmacists, nurses and allied health care professionals, as well as students and trainees in the life sciences, medicine, and pharmacy will benefit from seeing the clinical application of pharmacological principles in modern therapeutics. During the afternoon Ask the Expert session, a panel of clinical pharmacologists will be available to assist with your most challenging pharmacology, toxicology, and therapeutics questions. Are you still losing sleep about a puzzling clinical experience and wondering what a clinical pharmacologist would say about a particular case? Trying to figure out dosing in a patient who is not responding in a typical way? This is your opportunity to speak one-on-one with an expert. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this course, participants will be able to: Apply principles of pharmacology to a broad array of clinical scenarios Utilize practical prescribing tips Identify appropriate indications, advantages, and limitations of newer therapeutic products Discuss the toxicities associated with the use of opioids in the Canadian context Adopt a systematic approach to the selection of oral anticoagulants Interpret Diabetes Canada Guidelines and recommendations Recognize popular herbal therapies and describe the evidence around their efficacy and associated interactions and toxicities Describe the Canadian exposure settings and toxicities associated with metals Develop an understanding of the extent and consequences of polypharmacy Discuss approaches to prescribing in pregnancy and lactation Propose an approach to deprescribing 1
