P29 Establishment of Laboratory Teaching System of Pharmacology

We discuss the role, the content and arrangement as well as effective instructional methods of laboratory teaching of Pharmacology. Because of its importance and characteristic in functional experiment course, it is designed to have three teaching phases including general introduction, experiment and case discussion, which need about 64 class hours in all. In addition to the use of apparatuses and basic animal laboratory techniques, we introduce cellular and molecular laboratory techniques to the general introduction. The experiment part is composed of basic experiments, integrative experiments and investigative experiments, the time ratio of which is about 5：10.2. Methods adopted at our department are learning through active participation by the students through problem-based leaning, computer-assisted learning, Web-based learning, virtual laboratories, seminars, audiovisual aids and compositive quiz. Our objective is to cultivate students with modern laboratory pharmacological knowledge, the spirit of ＂Respect Life＂ and the understanding of humanity. So that when students graduate, they could serve other people and society better.
