What are the\u00a0transformative, irreversible, integrative, bounded, and inherently troublesome\u00a0<\/b>concepts for\u00a0<\/span>your<\/span><\/i>\u00a0students?<\/span><\/p>\n Threshold concepts have been defined as \u2018portals\u2019 that lead to a transformed way of understanding or thinking. They enable learners to progress whilst utilizing the knowledge of the concept and the discipline and have been adopted to inform teaching approaches and curriculum design.<\/span><\/p>\n In this interactive workshop we will discuss and define the major threshold concepts in veterinary pharmacology and\u00a0in the second part of the workshop we will address\u00a0ways to approach teaching of these concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n In the first half of the afternoon, we will discuss and define threshold concepts in veterinary pharmacology, based on previously identified concepts. What technical and medical terms do your students struggle with, and how well are they able to transfer pharmacological principles from theory to practice?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the second half of the afternoon, we will address the how: what makes the concept relevant to clinical practice and what is the best way to teach the concepts we have identified in the first half of the workshop?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> This hands-on workshops will illustrate the VetCAST methodology for the determination of clinical breakpoint (CBP). It will use real PK data from the example of penicillin in horses processed in a Non Linear Mixed Effect model (NLME, Phoenix, Certara):<\/p>\n The course will be divided into didactic presentations and hands-on exercises with tutors. A license of Phoenix will be provided for attendees to install on their PC ahead of the workshop (not MAC compatible). You will also receive at the same time as your license the Phoenix file of the workshop as you will have to redo it. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the objectives to be achieved, in particular to write the code in textual mode.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Workshop on Pharmacotherapeutic Modelling<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n
