Full Description
This exam examines the concept of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and its relevance in optimizing pharmacotherapy. It emphasizes the balance between drug efficacy and potential toxicity.
Therapeutic drug monitoring is crucial for individualizing patient care, especially in medications with narrow therapeutic indices. This practice ensures that patients receive optimal dosing based on specific pharmacokinetic profiles.
The exam aims to evaluate the student’s verbal articulation of TDM principles, the interpretation of drug concentration data, and the implications of TDM in practice.
Students will be challenged to discuss case-based scenarios where TDM could enhance treatment outcomes.
