Reflection:

Pharmacology has to be learnt side-by-side with pathology. This is because students can relate the disease and the appropriate treatment and management that should be given to the patient with that condition.

I enjoy Dr Rao and Dr Ameya's classes as they always make it simple and easy to understand. Although pharmacology requires a lot of memorising of the drug and its characteristics, I find it easier to remember when compared to other subjects. With the revision classes given by lecturers, and also a lot of miond-mapping and recalling, I am able to remember the few important drugs for treatment.

I find it very useful to learn pharmacology in my first year of MBBS, it provides a good foundation for clnical phase in year 3,4,5. I can also apply it in my daily lives, for example I can advise my dad on the lipid-lowerinf medication he is takinf for high cholesterol. Nevertheless, I know what to avoid and what to expect when a certain drug is administered. Hence, I enjoy pharmacology very much in my second semester.
