Clinical Pharmacology

OUR APPROACH

Our approach is to use the hospital’s highly qualified clinical pharmacists to serve as guides for medical students and residents in all medical departments to learn about drug therapies and drug safety, along with recent research in the field. In this way, we essentially train the entire extended Department of Medicine staff at the latest discoveries about the associations between certain drugs and diseases.

AREAS OF STUDY

Generally speaking, clinical pharmacology research tends to involve the following areas of study:

• How specific drugs are metabolized and transported within the body
• Effects of drug therapies
• Effects of drug therapies in special populations
• Drug discovery and development
• Determining the therapeutic window (between desirable/undesirable effects)

For more information about specific drugs or medications under study, speak with your physician.

We are proud to be associated with our nationally recognized Poison Control Center that covers the entire upstate region of New York state, outside of NYC.
