In Subcourses MD0804, MD0805, and MD0806, various topics pertaining to anatomy, physiology, pathology, and pharmacology were presented. Specifically, topics like drug references, the physiology of the nervous system, nervous system drugs, and dermatological agents were introduced. In this subcourse, MD0807, other systems of the body (for example, the digestive system) and the drugs used to treat conditions of those systems will be discussed. As in the other pharmacology subcourses, you will be provided background material in anatomy, physiology, and pathology in order to help you learn about the specific drugs discussed in the subcourse.

This subcourse is approved for resident and correspondence course instruction. It reflects the current thought of the Academy of Health Sciences and conforms to printed Department of the Army doctrine as closely as currently possible.
