AUB 7112 Pharmacology and Ototoxicity 1.5 Credit
Understanding medications and their potential impact on hearing and balance is essential for modern audiologic practice. This course provides a practical overview of pharmacology with emphasis on drugs that may cause or contribute to ototoxicity. Participants will explore core concepts including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, receptors, drug development and regulatory oversight. Through an evidence-based lens, the course examines medications and drug classes with known or suspected ototoxic effects, their mechanisms of action, contraindications and interactions. Learners will develop skills to identify ototoxic risk, counsel patients and apply pharmacologic principles to real-world patient care scenarios through guided discussion.
