Aims

After this course, students should be able to apply data given in the pharmacognosy course to perform a critical scientific and non scientific bibliographical review on medicinal plants. The aim is to help the student to take an appropriate position on this literature, particularly on active molecules and given indications. They should also be able to propose at least theoretically a quality control monograph.
