Department of Basic Pharmacology
Pharmacology is the branch of medicine concerned with the uses, effects, and modes of action of drugs. The Department of Basic Pharmacology at EGSP NYMC provides students with essential knowledge about pharmaceutical drugs, their interactions, and their impact on human physiology.
For a Naturopathy practitioner, understanding pharmacology is crucial for managing patients who are already on conventional medication and for understanding the biochemical interactions between natural supplements and pharmaceutical drugs. Our curriculum focuses on pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and clinical toxicology.
