Very fun and interesting class which combined two subjects that are rarely integrated: pharmacology and drug marketing. Teacher was experienced in the field and thus able to use a more behind the scenes approach to teach us how to utilize the mindset of a drug marketing expert. Dr. Segarnick cares more about understanding than brute memorization.

You don't necessarily need to read the textbook chapters, but participation in class discussion is 30% of your grade so if the lecture is on a disease you aren't familiar with, you'll need to read first.

This course was pretty good! Dr. Segarnick worked on most of the drugs himself so we got insight into what he experienced. The class is very interesting. The class itself is not too difficult but you still need to do the work. I think the one thing we did more of was focusing on how to get jobs in the pharma industry.
