To provide doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) students with highly integrated, comprehensive and up-to-date instruction related to the pharmacology of antiarrhythmic drugs.
Students were taught the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and therapeutics of antiarrhythmic agents in the cardiology module presented in quarter 7 of the PharmD curriculum. Important foundational information for this topic was presented to students in prerequisite physiology courses and pathophysiology courses offered earlier in the curriculum. Emphasis was placed on student critical thinking and active involvement. Weekly recitation sessions afforded students the opportunity to apply the information they learned regarding arrhythmia pharmacotherapy to comprehensive patient cases.
Student comprehension was measured using class exercises, short quizzes, case write-ups, comprehensive examinations, group exercises, and classroom discussion. Students were afforded the opportunity to evaluate the course, and the instructors as well as rate the degree to which the course achieved its educational outcomes.
Students learned about cardiac arrhythmias through a high-quality, interdisciplinary series of classes presented by faculty members with extensive experience related to the pharmacology and pharmacotherapy of cardiac arrhythmias.
为药学博士（PharmD）学生提供与抗心律失常药物药理学相关的高度综合、全面和最新的教学。
在 PharmD 课程的第 7 个季度中，学生在心血管模块中学习抗心律失常药物的药物化学、药理学和治疗学。本主题的重要基础信息已在课程早期提供的生理学预修课程和病理生理学课程中向学生介绍。重点是学生的批判性思维和积极参与。每周的复习课程使学生有机会将他们在心律失常药物治疗学方面学到的信息应用于综合患者病例中。
使用课堂练习、小测验、案例报告、综合考试、小组练习和课堂讨论来衡量学生的理解程度。学生有机会评估课程以及教师，并对课程在多大程度上实现了其教育目标进行评分。
学生通过由具有丰富与心律失常药理学和治疗学相关经验的教师提供的高质量跨学科系列课程了解了心脏心律失常。
