Course objectives
The aim of this Summer School is to deepen knowledge in pharmacology and pharmacotherapy, train, and improve prescribing skills. The content of the course is aimed at basic principles of drug dose adjustment in renal and hepatic insufficiency, clinical pharmacology of selected groups of drugs, and emphasis will be placed on working with drug information, reasonable pharmacotherapy, applied kinetics and management of drug interactions. A separate topic is how to ensure the safety of pharmacotherapy. The course is delivered especially as so-called team-based learning (TBL) lessons in which virtual patients will be discussed. Pre-class reading and video lectures are used to prepare for TBL. All the innovative teaching methods applied support the close collaboration between students. Meeting classmates from different countries, stimulating international collaboration, and comparing the national specific approches to prescribing are another aim of this course.
Learning outcomes
The student is able to: • Safely and effectively use drugs from selected classes • recognize and better understand the key issues in reasonable prescribing • use gained knowledge in the management of an individual patient, adjust drug dosing based on individual physiological functions • write/design a medication review/adverse effect evaluation, suggest an optimal management • collaborate in virtual multinational teams with other students, teachers, researchers.

Teaching methods
Flipped classroom: Team-based learning (TBL) lessons: - 1st part is the individual preclass reading as preparetion for the TBL lesson; - 2nd part is an individual-, team-, and group-based rapid assessment tests in the beginning of the TBL lesson; - 3rd part is the virtual patient case with several nodes (open or closed question to discuss, training prescribing skills); - 4th part is discussion on the gained knowledge and skills application into clinical practice. Escape room, collaborative online international learning lessons represent further methods used.
Assessment methods
1. Attendance at all lessons is compulsory. 2. Each student has to elaborate on a medication review of a patient or a comprehensive assessment of an adverse effect in a patient (pptx or docx format). This case report will be base for the collaborative online meeting where the answers and recommendations will be discussed. Certificates of attendance will be released once both conditions are met.
