My school combines Pathophysiology and Pharmacology into one course. I think it's best to have taken A&P I and II prior to taking Pathophysiology because in order to understand the abnormal processes occurring in the body, you must understand the normal processes.
I'm taking it this summer. I'm not sure how other schools do it, but at my school we have to take it after A&P I and II are completed, but before we start the nursing program.
While my school doesn't require it, I've signed up for it this coming fall. If one takes it, our school requires that one first passed AP2 with a passing grade (i.e. C or higher).

To the people who have taken it, do you recommend it as a course to take after AP1 or 2?
