Course Philosophy The use of experimental animals and intact organ systems in pharmacologic research has a rich history and retains an important role in contemporary experimentation. The topics selected for inclusion in this Short Course have been based on three criteria: (1) the importance of the animal model or system in pharmacologic research; (2) the ability to generalize material, illustrated with a limited number of well-defined examples, to other animal models/systems and other drug classes or biologic effects; and (3) the practical experience of the course faculty with each animal model or system. Taken as a whole, this interactive, hands-on short course is designed to provide the Student with a strong foundation for selecting an appropriate in vivo or intact organ model to address specific experimental hypotheses, for designing and implementing relevant pharmacologic experiments, and for evaluating and analyzing the data resulting from these experiments. |
