Medication Safety, Adverse Reactions & Pharmacovigilance

Slide 1 — Medication Safety as a Systems Discipline

Module 1 — General Principles of Pharmacology · Course 5 of 5

Role in Module 1: recognizes, assesses, monitors and reports medication-related harm. Recommended after Pharmacogenomics & Therapeutic Drug Monitoring. You can reopen any lesson at any time — your Quick Recall results show which concepts to revisit.

Medication safety, adverse drug reactions, and pharmacovigilance connect prescribing, monitoring, reporting, and systems improvement to prevent medication-related harm.
