Thematik

Critical thinking about medicines, with facts instead of beliefs. The elective course "Pharmacology without Urban Legends" offers medical and pharmacy students an opportunity to prepare for the subjects Pharmacology, Pharmacodynamics.  For students from other faculties, it aims to develop a broader perspective on medicines in an easily digestible, thought-provoking and interactive format that can be useful in everyday life. During the course, we will challenge common misconceptions about medicines that are well known but not accurate. The course will focus on developing critical thinking and knowledge transfer.
