The Pharmacology of Addiction course at Stanmore School of Business was really helpful in achieving my learning goals. I was able to gain a solid understanding of the underlying pharmacological mechanisms that contribute to addiction, which has been super useful in my research work. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the pharmacology of nicotine and alcohol to the latest research on opioid addiction. One thing that really stood out to me was the quality of the course materials - the videos were engaging, the readings were informative, and the quizzes were a great way to test my knowledge. My only suggestion would be to add more interactive elements to the course, but overall I was really happy with the experience.
