A Primer in Pharmacology for the Rehabilitative Professional
The Rehabilitation literature provides little coverage of medications commonly seen in our practice.  In addition these sources of information provide only limited coverage of pharmacology principles, specifically pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and how these relate to therapeutic interventions for our patients.  The aim for this presentation is to discuss the most common cardiovascular and anti-diabetic medications in relationship to basic pharmacology, physiology and exercise interventions.

Who Should Attend:
  • Occupational Therapists
  • Occupational Therapy Assistants
Seminar Objectives
  • Explain the drug delivery process from pre-clinical evaluation to post-marketing surveillance
  • Describe the principles of pharmacology (pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics)
  • Identify some of the drug categories utilized in the treatment of cardiovascular and diabetic conditions and explain their mechanism of action and side effect profile
  • Recognize exercise drug interactions and be able to adjust therapeutic interventions accordingly
