Key Summary
About: The Certificate in Pharmacometrics gives focused training in quantitative tools used in drug development, regulatory decision-making, and precision dosing. You’ll learn from faculty across industry, academia, and regulatory backgrounds, and study mathematical models of biology, pharmacology, disease, and physiology that quantify xenobiotic–patient interactions (Barrett, Fossler et al. 2008). Complete the programme in 12 months online. Keywords: quantitative pharmacology, PK/PD modeling, population modeling, regulatory science.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles in clinical pharmacology, pharmacometrics, regulatory agencies, clinical practice, and the pharmaceutical industry; potential positions include clinical pharmacologist and pharmacometrician, applying skills in pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, data analysis, and dose optimization.
The goal of the Certificate in Pharmacometrics is to provide a skill-building program in quantitative tools that are used in drug development, regulatory decision-making, and precision dosing.

- Train in quantitative tools that are used in drug development, regulatory decision-making, and precision dosing.
- Learn from expert faculty from the pharmaceutical industry, academia, and regulatory backgrounds.
Pharmacometrics is defined as that branch of science concerned with mathematical models of biology, pharmacology, disease, and physiology used to describe and quantify interactions between xenobiotics and patients, including beneficial effects and side effects resultant from such interfaces (Barrett, Fossler et al. 2008).
The 15 credit hours (5 courses) online program can be completed in one year (fall, spring, and summer).
