January
January Hours: 0, Total Hours: 0 Unfortunately, we were moved to fully remote for this month due to the increase in COVID cases. The curriculum is different than last semester in that we have different classes with slightly different structures such as environmental signaling, neuropharmacology, and endocrine pharmacology. In medical pharmacology, we went over certain endocrine disorders and pharmacology such as thyroid disorders as well as the treatments of diabetes. It was interesting learning about the insulin signaling and insulin resistance mechanisms as well as how this applies to the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Although the guidelines for diabetes are long, the drug lists are constantly expanding for diabetes therefore we were only responsible for learning and understanding the different drug classes. Considering that the US is faced with an increasingly aging population, the incidence of diabetes is rising, therefore these treatment methods are highly relevant and
