Pharmacology and Laboratory Medicine
WVEIS 0729
Instructional content within this course will focus on the accurate incorporation of pharmacologic and laboratory data
within medical documentation. Additional content will include a history and overview of pharmacology; drug enforcement
agencies responsible for governing the legal and ethical use of controlled substances and legal/safety guidelines, drug
reference materials, measurement and mathematics used in the calculation of drug dosages, interpretation and
documentation of medication orders; drug classification and actions, common pharmacology and laboratory medicine,
basic medical terminology, anatomy and physiology of the human body, and concepts of pathophysiology. Students will
utilize problem-solving techniques and participate in hands-on activities to develop an understanding of course concepts.
Teachers will provide each student with real world learning opportunities and instruction related to the study of medical
information management. The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st
Century Content Standards and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are
responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools, and content standards and
objectives. Students are encouraged to become active members of Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA), the
Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for Health Science Technology Education students.
