Course Description

This course surveys the basic principles of neuropharmacology with an emphasis on the molecular pharmacology of drugs used to treat CNS disorders which are of particular interest to Rehabilitation Medicine Practitioners. The course will provide a description of the cellular and molecular actions of drugs on synaptic transmission with discussion of drug-induced changes in functioning of the nervous system. We will examine how the neurotransmitter systems influence nervous system as well as therapeutic targets affecting these transmitter systems. Clinical applications of neuropharmacology, the link between neuropharmacology and behavior, and current research investigating the development of drugs for neuronal targets and pharmacogenetics will be addressed.  This course is designed to provide a foundation for advanced knowledge in neuro-psychopharmacology, and to provide an introduction to the pharmacological treatment of CNS pathologies. The ultimate goal is to understand how molecular neuroscience can guide the direction of basic medical science and therapeutic approaches.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:

1. Describe neuropharmacology and the basic sciences involved
2. Describe neuropharmacological drugs and receptors, mechanism of action etc
3. Describe future neuropharmacology research and clinical practice

The ACRM Spring Meeting is a venue for face-to-face collaborating of many interdisciplinary ACRM community groups and committees — the heart of ACRM. Come find your tribe and become a member of the vibrant ACRM community.

BEST VALUE

Ridiculously inexpensive? Yep. That’s because we believe in getting the research to practice ASAP. And we think that having a low-cost to attend is a good way to do that.

Early Bird rates are as low as $49 for members and $99 for non-members — and that includes CME / CEU processing. Are you kidding me?!? Nope. See the rate tables here.

We encourage you to register early — before tickets are gone. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

WHO ATTENDS

You’re our people

ACRM attendees are all kinds of rehabilitation professionals — from researchers to clinicians (including
doctors, nurses, PT assistants, hospital administrators to name just a few) to consumers, family, caregivers, and
more. Everyone is invited and warmly welcomed at ACRM.

They span a wide spectrum of experience from students to well-seasoned pros and hail from the largest
rehabilitation institutions and universities to one-person solopreneurs.
