Elective course on genetic variability and drug response for medical students
Keywords:
DRUGS, PHARMACOGENETICS, PHARMACOGENOMICS.Abstract
Introduction: individual genetic variability significantly influences drug response, impacting treatment efficacy and safety.
Objective: to design an elective course for medical students, with the purpose of providing them with a solid foundation on genetic variability and drug response.
Methods: a curriculum development study focused on structuring an elective course on genetic variability and drug response for medical students was carried out. The curriculum development process is based on a systematic approach that includes the following stages: needs analysis, definition of objectives, content selection, content organization, teaching-learning strategies and learning evaluation. The course is aimed at medical students in the last years of their degree, who have already acquired basic knowledge in pharmacology, genetics and internal medicine. It will be implemented as an elective within the curriculum of the Baracoa Medical Sciences Branch.
Results: the course program includes its objective, target audience, duration in hours and rationale. It is structured in four topics with their respective contents to be dealt with. It incorporates the methodology to be followed to teach the content, as well as the evaluation system and the resources and literature to be used.
Conclusions: the elective course will provide medical students with a solid understanding of genetic variability and its impact on drug response and will enable them to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to apply them in clinical practice.
