Relate pharmaceutical drugs and their use with real life examples and applications

And many, many more…..

Description

Master the science behind pharmaceutical drug making. Whether you’re expanding your career knowledge or an aspiring pharmaceutical scientist, you’ve come to the right place.

This course will give you a deep understanding of the science behind how drugs designed, manufactured, tested, how they work, and testing requirements surrounding patient safety.

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 teach you how to THINK like a pharmaceutical scientist.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
