MI210-IS: Essentials of Population PK-PD Modeling & Simulation (3 CR)
Product Description
Independent Study
Spring 2013 (exact times/dates TBA)
Course Description: MI210 provides an extensive overview of topics in population pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including nonlinear mixed-effects modeling theory and implementation, data formatting requirements, population model development, model evaluation techniques, continuous PK-PD models, Monte Carlo simulation, and best practices. Instruction combines didactic lectures with hands-on exercises using R, MIfuns, and the NONMEM® 7 software. Participants may apply the 3 credit hours from this course to the Metrum Institute Certificate Program in Pharmacometrics.
Independent Study: This course is being offered as an independent study online. See the Metrum Institute Independent Study Course Policy for more information.
Prerequisites: Basic understanding of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles, compartmental pharmacokinetic models, introductory statistics, familiarity with the R or S language. Applicable MI Courses include: MI101, MI120 and MI201, or contact us.
Computer Hardware/Software: This course requires a Windows computer with a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are supported). Students will be given access to a Metrum Institute web-application server for hands-on examples, including all required software. Details on how to access the program are provided at the start of the course.
