Globally a pharmacist is a part of health care team and is therefore a health practitioner. Understanding mechanisms of disease enables him to design and implementation of clinical interventions which often prove effective in treatment of disease. Pathophysiology is an integrative science that draws concepts from many basic and clinical sciences, including Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Cell and Molecular Biology, Pharmacology and Biophysics. The general theoretical framework of the subject Pathophysiology is based upon the theories and related concepts of adaptation and homeostasis. An orientation to disease as disordered physiology can enable a student to understand how and why the symptoms and signs of various conditions appear; the need to understand the mechanisms underlying the disease and its clinical manifestations, so that rational therapies can be devised.
