| Course contents : | The course on therapeutics, intended for students in the third and fourth years of doctoral study, comprises a cycle of 60 one-hour meetings distributed over a period of two years. It is essentially a multi-disciplinary course, and is taught by different lecturers, each with specific expertise, so that all the major areas of therapeutics that are useful for students of basic medicine, especially as regards internal medicine and all its related areas, such as paediatrics, gynaecology, psychology... Specific aspects of general medicine are dealt with in another series of classes. Aspects that are too specialized will not be covered here, but where necessary will be covered later in the appropriate DES program. |
|
| Course objective : | The therapeutic course aims to give students in their last two years of medical studies, the bases allowing them to prescribe drugs in an optimum manner (i.e. in a reasoned and reasonable way) for the most frequent pathologies, taking into account the various aspects of efficacy, tolerance, safety and cost of the proposed treatment. Each class includes a brief reminder of the pathology in question, a general description of the proposed therapeutic strategy, a presentation of the various treatments available, an analysis of the most rational use (first therapeutic choice, search for synergy through associations), finally, concrete practical details regarding the prescription. The course therefore aims to provide a summary covering illnesses and the prescription given to the patient. Several more general courses deal with important problems such as those relating to therapeutic observance, drug interactions, pharmacoeconomics, the most up-to-date therapeutic information for that year, etc. |
