NURS 712 - Advanced Neuropsychopharmacology Across the Lifespan
3 Credits
This course examines the pharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. The course includes topics in neurobiology, the biologic actions of psychotropic drugs and a discussion of how drug-induced modifications of brain chemistry can affect mood and behavior. Evidenced-based practice and research-based decision-making is emphasized. The course is structured to develop in the student a logical approach and holistic treatment strategy to use when prescribing and evaluating psychotropic medication for a variety of patient populations. The decision-making model outlined in this course is designed to provide the student with a strategy that is relevant for use today and that is adaptable enough to accommodate the ever-increasing body of relevant scientific information.
