About the Certificate
The program is designed for current professionals in the field and pharmacy students who wish to enhance their credentials and skills. Industry employers actively seek candidates who have specific backgrounds in the development and interpretation of pharmacokinetic (mathematical) models that can predict drug disposition in humans.
By completing this program, you will
- learn basic pharmacokinetics concepts and pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling and simulation for small and large molecule therapeutics;
- learn in vitro-in vivo correlation techniques for pharmacokinetics prediction; and
- learn related regulatory guidance.
Time Limit for Certificate Completion: 3 years
