Workshop: November 3-4, 2000

The USC Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy had a hands-on workshop on:

"Model-Based, Goal-Oriented Optimal Individualized Drug Therapy: Relationship to Parametric and Nonparametric Population PK/PD Modeling, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, and Multiple Model Dosage Design"

Location:
USC School of Pharmacy Computer Classroom
1985 Zonal Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, 90033

This course was intended for physicians, pharmacists and biomedical scientists with an interest in population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling and in therapeutic drug monitoring and optimal individualization of drug therapy for patient care. Participants were introduced to the USC*PACK software which can be used both for therapeutic drug monitoring as well as for parametric and nonparametric population PK/PD and physiological modelling.
