🔍 Learn:

  • The difference between time-dependent and concentration-dependent killing
  • Key PK/PD metrics like Time > MIC, Cmax/MIC, and AUC/MIC
  • Why some antibiotics demand frequent small doses while others want big hits
  • How drug class, site of infection, and patient physiology change your strategy
  • Common pitfalls that lead to treatment failure or resistance

🎯 Includes a board-style question and flashcard-style recap.
