Summary
This module is a continuation of the Drug, Medicine and Patient theme and focuses on the cardiovascular system in health and disease. It uses cardiovascular diseases to form a framework of learning and takes account of key drug classes, from their fundamental science through to clinical usage. The treatment of cardiovascular disease is heavily dependent on evidence-based medicine and this module will introduce and consider the evidence which underpins therapeutics. Case study problem- based learning forms part of this module, where the emphasis is on students becoming self-seeking independent learners, with high level enquiry and critical skills.
