Fellowship in Clinical Pharmacology
Course Duration: 1 Year, Offline/Online Mode
Fellowship in Clinical Pharmacology is an advanced training program that prepares physicians and pharmacists for careers in research on how medications affect people. Clinical pharmacologists investigate how medications are absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted by the body, as well as how these processes affect the medication's effects. They also study how a person's genetics, age, and other health conditions can influence how a medication works.
Clinical pharmacology fellows typically complete one Year program that includes didactic coursework, research experience, and clinical rotations. Didactic coursework covers topics such as pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug metabolism, and clinical trial design. Research experience allows fellows to develop their skills in designing and conducting clinical trials. Clinical rotations provide fellows with exposure to different patient populations and disease states.
After completing a fellowship in clinical pharmacology, graduates may pursue careers in academia, the pharmaceutical industry, or government. In academia, clinical pharmacologists may teach and conduct research on new medications. In the pharmaceutical industry, they may work on the development and testing of new drugs. In government, they may work on the regulation of drugs or the development of public health policies related to medication use.
