Clinical Calculations

This section is designed to help pharmacy students strengthen their understanding and skills in clinical calculations using some clinical equations and fundamental concepts. The primary goal is to provide students with the opportunities to practice and master clinical calculations essential for their academic growth.

Key Topics Covered:

• Patient parameters or Laboratory measures
• Dose calculations 
• Quantities of drugs to be dispensed or administered
• Dose conversions (2 of 2)
• Nutritional needs and the content of nutrient sources
• Basic Biostatistics and epidemiological measures
• Basic Pharmacoeconomic measures
• Basic Pharmacokinetic parameters

Each module includes subtopics and practice questions. All questions are fill-in-the-blank, designed to challenge and reinforce your understanding.

Course Structure:
Study Guides: A study guide will help you better understand the material.
Practice Questions: Self-assessment tools to test your knowledge after each lesson.

How to Use This Course:
• Review the topics and subtopics under each chapter.
• Attempt the practice questions multiple times to solidify your knowledge.
• Use this course as a supplementary tool to prepare for exams and improve confidence in clinical calculations.

By practicing consistently, you’ll build the skills needed to excel in clinical calculations during your pharmacy studies. If you have questions or need clarification on any topic, or if you want me to add any specific topics, feel free to contact me at hossain@rxcalculation.com

Disclaimer:
This course is not intended to serve as a guideline or protocol for clinical decision-making. It is purely an educational resource for pharmacy students to practice calculations. While I have made every effort to cover the key concepts and important topics, the material may not include every clinical calculation scenario. The clinical cases included in this course were created solely for educational purposes. They are not real cases but are designed to help you practice calculations in a realistic context. Sometimes, I use books, online resources, my own experience, and input from my students to create these cases. They are intended to give you a practical framework to apply your knowledge, but they should not be interpreted as real-life examples or clinical protocols.

We kindly ask that you read the Disclaimer & Terms of Service  before making any purchases of modules.
