Toxicological and forensic chemistry is a mandatory academic discipline that students of the specialty "Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy" study in the 4th year of study (course) during the 8th semester.
Toxicological and forensic chemistry
(120 hours, 4 credits)
consists of 2 modules (full-time education):
Module 1. "Chemical-toxicological analysis of toxic substances of inorganic origin, volatile and metallic poisons", (60 hours, 2 credits).
Module 2. "Chemical-toxicological analysis of medicinal poisons, poisons of natural origin and pesticides", (60 hours, 2 credits).
Toxicological and forensic chemistry is one of the special pharmaceutical disciplines that studies the properties of poisonous and potent substances, their behavior in the body and corpse, develops methods for the isolation, identification and determination of toxic substances and their metabolites in objects of biological origin. It arose from the needs of toxicology and is one of its components. Its methods are widely used in various sections of toxicology, influencing their development.
The aim of teaching the academic discipline of toxicological and forensic chemistry is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and, based on modern scientific ideas, to form in students the necessary theoretical knowledge in the field of forensic and toxicological chemistry. As well as to form in students chemical-expert thinking and develop skills and abilities in methods of isolating poisons from objects of biological origin, as well as the detection and determination of xenobiotics and their metabolites when conducting chemical-toxicological or forensic-toxicological studies.
The discipline ensures that students acquire integral, general and professional competencies:
GС 01. Ability for abstract thinking, analysis and synthesis.
GC 02. Knowledge and understanding of the subject area and understanding of professional activity
GC 05. Ability to evaluate and ensure the quality of work performed.
GC 06. Ability to work in a team.
PC 01. Ability to integrate knowledge and solve complex pharmacy problems in broad or multidisciplinary contexts.
PC 02. Ability to collect, interpret and apply data necessary for professional activity, research and implementation of innovative projects in the field of pharmacy.
PC 03. Ability to solve pharmacy problems in new or unfamiliar environments in the presence of incomplete or limited information, taking into account aspects of social and ethical responsibility.
PC 08. Ability to monitor the effectiveness and safety of the use of medicines by the population according to data on their clinical and pharmaceutical characteristics.
PC 09. Ability to identify medicines, xenobiotics, toxins and their metabolites in biological fluids and tissues of the body, to conduct chemical and toxicological studies for the purpose of diagnosing acute poisoning, drug and alcohol intoxication.
The discipline ensures the formation of the following program learning outcomes:
PLO 01. Have and apply specialized conceptual knowledge in the field of pharmacy and related fields, taking into account modern scientific achievements.
PLO 03. Have specialized knowledge and skills to solve professional problems and tasks, including for the purpose of further developing knowledge and procedures in the field of pharmacy.
PLO 06. Develop and make effective decisions to solve complex / complex pharmacy tasks personally and based on the results of joint discussion; formulate the goals of one's own activities and the activities of the team, taking into account social and industrial interests, general strategy and existing limitations, determine the optimal ways to achieve goals.
PLO 13. Record cases of side effects when using medicines of natural and synthetic origin; evaluate factors that may affect the processes of absorption, distribution, deposition, metabolism and excretion of medicines and are determined by the state and characteristics of the human body and the pharmaceutical characteristics of medicines.
PLO 14. Select biological objects for analysis, determine xenobiotics, toxins and their metabolites in them; evaluate the results obtained.
