Integrate your pharmacological knowledge with an understanding of disease prevention and management, which will build on your skills from Pharmacotherapeutics I and II.

Utilising case-based learning, in this unit you will build complexity into your clinical decision-making, examine more complex conditions and patient parameters and identify strategies for appropriate person-centred care.

Studying this unit, you will use real-world cases to explore the management of disorders and therapies relating to oncology, organ transplantation, the renal and hepatic systems and acute illness associated with acute coronary syndrome and venous thromboembolism, and infection.

This unit focuses on appraising evidence and rationale for management of therapies. You will be equipped to apply a sound clinical decision-making process, promoting holistic outcomes in specific person-centred care contexts.
