Understand the science behind pharmaceutical drug discovery, drug development, and clinical trials. Whether you're expanding your career knowledge into the pharmaceutical industry or an aspiring pharmaceutical scientist or clinical project coordinator, you've come to the right place.
This course will give you an introductory understanding of the science behind how drug candidates are discovered and selected, how drugs are developed, the process of clinical trial, alternative medicine, generic and innovator drugs, regulatory affairs, and an overview of the pharmaceutical industry,
While most science courses focus on simply what the theories are, I teach through applicable, real-life examples designed to show you why these theories work and how they can be applied in your very own daily lives. I will not teach you to memorize formulas, theories, or to regurgitate facts and drug names. I will provide insights into the drug discovery and development through the lens of a pharmaceutical scientist or clinical project coordinator.
