3161 MEDICAL PHARMACOLOGY

GENERAL INFORMATION
Pharmacology deals with investigating the interaction between drugs and biological systems

Objective
It is aimed to train pharmacologists who have the qualifications of universal research scientist candidate and have scientific competence and competence at the international level.


Admission Requirements
Graduating from the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Dentistry, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Biology and Molecular Biology and Genetics. Candidates who have completed their undergraduate education abroad are required to have received an equivalence certificate from the Interuniversity Board. Students who will enroll in the master's program must have an academic GPA of at least 2.30. In order to ensure harmony between the grades received according to the 4-point system between universities, first these grades are calculated according to the 100-point system of the relevant university, and then the 4-point system grades are determined according to the Pamukkale University grade conversion table. ALES score must be at least 60, provided that it is numerical. Internationally accepted GRE and GMAT scores can be used as ALES score equivalents in line with the Pamukkale University Postgraduate Education and Training Regulation Application Principles Directive. As a requirement for proficiency in a foreign language, it is necessary to get at least 50 points from ÜDS or equivalent language exams determined by YÖK.

Graduation Requirements
A student must complete the required course load (21 PAU credits) with a CGPA of at least 3.00/4.00; present a research seminar and successfully prepare and defend a thesis.

TEACHING & LEARNING METHODS
NameComments
LecturingLecturing is one of the methods that come first, where the teacher is in the center. It is a method where the teacher actively describes topics and the students are passive listeners. With this method, lesson proceeds in the form of report, description and explanation.
DebateDepending on the situation, debate is a tool that allows all students, or a specific portion of the class to participate in the lesson. In this method, members of the group discuss a topic by addressing the various points of view and discuss alternative opinions about problem-solving.
DemonstrationIn this method the teacher demonstrates, an experiment, test, in front of the class. And then assists students to do so too. Students learn not only by just by looking and watching, but also by taking part and participating. This method is usually applied when teaching skills.
Case Study Case studies require students to actively participate while using an analytical perspective to think about real and problematic events. The problematic event may be real or very close to real life. Student(s) working on the documents that include the necessary data and descriptions of the
Problem SolvingThe name given to any doubt or ambiguity that arises is, a problem. Problems which usually have a role in human life, that have preventing or annoying aspects are solved by considering the stages of scientific methods. (a) Problems are determined. (b) The problem is identified. 
PerformanceIn this method, the teacher performs activities such as experiments and demonstrations in front of the class, students try to learn by looking and watching. This method is usually applied where there are limited facilities and in dealing with dangerous experimental situations.
Questions –AnswersThe different types of Questions used (associative, differential, assessment, requesting information, motivating, and brainstorming) although students get in to more active positions during the process; the method is teacher-centered. If possible Questions, that serve a purpose and
