The student should know the objectives of dosage form design, and why dosage forms and drug delivery systems are needed. 2. The student should be familiar with the factors to be considered prior to drug formulation including physical and chemical properties, functions of excipients, biopharmaceutical/pharmacokinetic considerations, and therapeutic considerations. 3. The student is responsible for performing calculations associated with the physical and chemical properties of drug delivery and dosage forms. 4. The student is responsible for understanding different dosage forms (solutions, solid dosage forms, coarse dispersions, and others), and the physico-chemical background for each dosage form. 5. The student should know the factors involved in drug product design, including novel drug delivery systems, and molecular imaging. 6. The student should be familiar with biotechnology derived drugs and their drug delivery related issues. 7. The student should understand drug kinetics and drug binding phenomena. 8. The student should be aware of and understand targeted drug delivery systems such as radioimmunotherapy. Understanding the fundamental principles of drug delivery and dosage forms allows for a thorough comprehension of the drugs that she/he will be dispensing on a daily basis.
