Abstract
Pharmacology is a core and prerequisite course in major medical fields. In many academic
centers, it is provided as a teacher-centered lecture course. In this article, I present twelve tips
to help pharmacology teachers have more vital pharmacology classes. The tips are most useful
for teachers who teach pharmacology as a traditional “preclinical” discipline and use lecturing
as their main teaching method. Some of the tips presented can also be used for teaching in
other lecture-based courses.
