Course Description
This course will help you fill the gaps to become a better Population Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeler. This e-learning course focuses on Population PK/PD modeling and simulation using the intuitive interface of Phoenix NLME. This course topics include: population PK analysis with covariates, covariate search methods, complex PK models including multiple absorption processes and parent-metabolite models, Emax PK/PD models, an introduction to categorical response PD models, and modeling BLQ data in Phoenix NLME.
The concepts of each topic are explained in detail via instructional videos. Exercises are introduced and you are expected to practice concepts learned by performing the exercises on your own. Step by step solution videos are also provided to check your work. Your understanding of the concepts discussed is tested via short quizzes throughout the course.
