title: Teaching pharmacology in a physician assistant program.
abstract: The design of physician assistant programs creates special challenges for providing pharmacology education. The most difficult barrier is balancing the depth of the material and time constraints. Careful planning and use of an outline can facilitate lecture development. Supplemental materials are critical to the learning process and should be chosen carefully.
