Abstract

Anesthetic pharmacology, a specialized branch of pharmacology, differs significantly from the foundational phar macology taught in undergraduate medical programs. A key challenge lies in effectively distinguishing and inte grating these two courses to enhance students’ theoretical understanding and foster their clinical anesthesia skills. This paper explores strategies for optimizing lesson preparation and delivery in anesthetic pharmacology, focusing on course positioning, student knowledge assessment, clinical integration, objective setting, content development, instructional design, innovative teaching tools, and classroom management. The ultimate aim is to enhance teaching effectiveness and train anesthesiology professionals with robust theoretical knowledge and practical competence.

Keywords: Anesthetic pharmacology, instructional design, course positioning, teaching tools
