Difficulties (academic) with the year 2 course Illness Bereavements Family worries Financial difficulties Workload Stress Impairment advice Absence from classes Harassment Timetable difficulties

In a number of instances, the Student Support Co-ordinators are the best initial contact to deal with your inquiry. Please ensure that your semester and home addresses and telephone numbers are correct on eVision. The Student Support Co-ordinators may have cause to contact you or your family if an emergency arises. If you have a complaint or concern about a particular staff member or programme, then you should take it up with the staff member concerned first. If you do not wish to do this, then discuss the matter with Professor Stephen Duffull, the Dean of the School. All enquiries are treated confidentially. Complaints or concerns about individual staff members are not dealt with by the School of Pharmacy Student/Staff Liaison meetings, but matters relating to a paper are. University Study Assistance and Support Services

You should make yourself familiar with the services offered by the Student Learning Centre (located next to the Central Library in the Information Services Building). The Centre provides study assistance by way of workshops designed to help students improve their skills and strategies to become more effective and efficient learners. It is also possible to make individual appointments to discuss study related concerns or receive practical guidance in, for example, writing an essay, getting started on an assignment, improving time management and English language skills. Contact details for the Student Learning Centre are: ph: 479-5786; email: [email protected] or web: http://hedc.otago.ac.nz/hedc/sld.html

STUDENT TIMETABLE All Pharmacy students are expected to be available 8am – 6pm Monday – Friday during semester time. We arrange the Pharmacy timetable as much as possible before the start of the teaching year but due to the nature of our teaching (e.g. we use a lot of outside experts in classes) we often have to move classes. The School of Pharmacy has developed a web-based timetable to allow all students to see the most up-to-date version of their timetable. All classes have been given session codes, which are printed in this handbook, the times for these classes are available from the web timetable. All students should check the web timetable (www.otago.ac.nz/pharmacy and select Student Timetables from the Quickfind drop-down list) each week for their timetable for the coming week. Each class has a session code, lectures are coded by a two digit number only, laboratories are coded with an ‘L’ and a two digit number, e.g. L01, workshops are coded with a ‘W’ and a two digit number, e.g. W02, tutorials are coded with a ‘T’ and a two digit number, e.g. T03, CAL laboratories are coded with a ‘C’ and a two digit number, e.g. C04, seminars are coded with a ‘S’ and a two digit number, e.g. S05. The following rules have been set for the web timetable:

Timetables are correct at 6pm each Sunday.

The timetable for each week is posted on the 6th floor noticeboard, by 8.30am each Monday morning.

Any changes made after 6pm Sunday will be emailed to students.

If any changes are made on the same day (e.g. lecture cancellation due to illness), a text message will be sent to all students who are listed on the eTXT system.

At the beginning of the year all cellphone numbers are downloaded from eVision. Therefore, if you wish to receive the messages regarding late timetable changes you must ensure your cellphone number is listed on eVision. If you do not want to be on the School eTXT list, please email the Undergraduate Administrator and she will remove your number from the list. Please let the Undergraduate Administrator know if your cellphone number changes during the year.

NOTE: You will be assigned to a specific group at the start of the semester and must stay in that group for the whole of the year for all Pharmacy 2 papers.

If you need to attend another workshop or lab other than the one you are scheduled to attend, you must follow the instructions for requesting a group swap, as outlined in the Student BPharm Handbook. You may not attend another group’s workshop without permission (which will be granted only if it does not make that group too big).

You will NOT normally be given permission to attend a laboratory class in a group other than your own.

STANDARD DRUG LIST Introduction

There are in excess of 3000 medicines available on the NZ market. It is quite literally impossible to know all aspects of all medicines/drugs. It is generally accepted that most healthcare professionals have a “short” list of drugs about which they are knowledgeable. This short list usually corresponds with those drugs that they use in practice most often. Students are not in a position to gain experience in drug usage and therefore some guidance about important drugs and important knowledge about drugs is essential. The lists compiled in this document are similar to those that have been developed for medical students enrolled at The University of Otago. Purpose

To provide students and staff with a list of drugs for which some expectation of knowledge is required.

The lists

The standard drug list comprises 3 categories. Category 1 This is a short list of 43 drugs that are considered to comprise essential knowledge for students. Students are expected to complete a drug profile (see Appendix A) for each of these drugs and be able to discuss any of the relevant details in class, during placements, and for verbal and written assessments and examinations. [It is not a requirement that staff teach to category 1 drugs.] Category 2 This is a longer list of drugs about which students are required to have some knowledge. In some cases this may be to compare and contrast with other drugs of a class. In other cases this might be for reasons of special interest to pharmaceutical or clinical sciences or pharmacy practice. Category 3 This is a list of drugs that the student is expected to have some awareness (e.g. what the drug is used for).

1. Transport and movement of substances across cellular membranes. Concept of homeostasis.

2. Basis of electrical activity in tissues; structure and function of nerve and muscle cells.

3. Roles of the peripheral nervous system; sensory and autonomic nervous systems.

4. Function of the central nervous system and the control of movement.

5. Operation of the special senses – vision, smell, taste, hearing and balance.

6. Design and function of the endocrine system; the endocrine system in reproduction.

7. Mechanics and control of respiration (breathing).

8. Design, operation and control of the circulatory system.

9. Renal function and the role of the kidneys in the homeostasis of body salt and water content and pH.

10. Nutrient requirements of the body; how these are achieved by the gastro-intestinal system.

11. Integrated responses of organ systems during dynamic exercise; the regulation of core body temperature.

This paper builds upon the core foundation of Physiology established in HUBS 191 and 192.

After successful completion of this paper, the students will have developed an understanding of bioactives and pharmaceutical dosage forms as chemical entities whose properties are governed by physicochemical principles and an understanding of the importance of formulation technology in the development and assessment of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

The students will have developed an understanding of the relevance of these principles for the quality use of medicines.

The fundamental aspects of pharmaceutical development taught in this paper will allow the students to critically evaluate the properties of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

After successful completion of this paper the students will be in a position to self-directly and independently improve their knowledge and understanding of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

This paper aims to stimulate in the students a desire for life-long learning on pharmaceutical dosage forms, an indispensable prerequisite for a pharmaceutical professional working in academia, industry, and hospital or retail pharmacy.

PHCY 258 INTRODUCTION TO DRUG ACTION Duration: Semester 2 Points: 12

Paper Co-ordinator: Associate Professor Joel Tyndall

A. Prescription:

Drug structure and its relationship with physicochemical properties, drug transport, drug metabolism and drug action.


Generic

The aim of this paper is to introduce the principles that underpin our understanding of the relationship between drug structure and the physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs. It covers the integrated disciplines of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology.

Introduction to Drug Action emphasises chemical structure as a determinant of the biological activity of drug molecules from both synthetic and natural origin. Students are encouraged to recognise that drugs are, in the main, organic compounds, and that through knowledge of structure activity relationships (SAR), they can predict the behaviour of drugs as chemicals, medicines and therapeutic agents. The lectures, tutorials and practical sessions aim to assist students to develop skills in the areas of critical thinking and problem solving. The practical classes are designed to provide experience in the determination of physicochemical properties, and to facilitate an understanding of how drugs act.

Specific

Specifically, by the end of Introduction to Drug Action, students will be able to:

Predict the acid-base properties and lipophilicity of drugs based on structural features.

Understand how structure and physicochemical properties of a drug influence drug transport following administration via various routes.

Recognise the reactions involved in the metabolism of drugs within the body and predict the metabolic pathway of drugs from their chemical structure.

Predict likely drug-protein interactions based on the functional groups present in a drug and identify the nature of the biological effect a molecule has at different types of drugs targets.

Recognise the methodologies used to identify and optimise drug leads and their access to drug targets.

Understand the basic principles of pharmacology as applied to the autonomic nervous system.

Understand and be able to use pharmacological terminology.

Understand the different receptor classes targeted by drugs, including ionotropic, G-protein coupled, kinase-linked and nuclear receptors.

Use data from pharmacological experiments to draw conclusions about mechanisms of drug action.

Be able to create dose (EC50 etc) response curves from pharmacological data and extrapolate pharmacological variables from them.

A. Prescription: An introduction to the New Zealand health system, the history of medicines and the pharmacy profession, communication issues and practice, literature searching, pharmacoepidemiology, drug evaluation, pharmacy law, healthcare ethics; and practical pharmacy dispensing.


The Pharmacy Practice components, which are provided over the three later years of Pharmacy in the Bachelor of Pharmacy degree programme, enable our students to develop all of the generic attributes expected of an Otago graduate. In second year, the teaching and assessment of this component fosters, in alphabetical order, communication, critical thinking, cultural understanding, ethics, information literacy, research and scholarship, self-motivation, teamwork and work-place related skills.

Specifically, these attributes are (and will be) fostered through a series of separate but interlinked modules:

1. General issues in healthcare, the New Zealand health system, and pharmaceutical policy.

2. The history of medicines and pharmacy – in different times and cultures, leading up to the history of the pharmacy profession in New Zealand.

3. Communication – both general and pharmacy-related.

4. Māori culture. This part of the course is currently in development. It will be taught in semester 1. All students will receive updates to this document and further communication regarding course content, timetabling and assessment as the course develops.

5. Healthcare ethics.

6. Pharmacy law.

7. Literature searching.

8. Pharmacoepidemiology.

9. Drug information and evaluation.
