American College of Toxicology’s (ACT) Advanced Comprehensive Toxicology Course is entering its second decade! The course, originally designed as an advanced offering to complement ACT’s Toxicology for Pharmaceutical and Regulatory Scientists course, has been found to be extremely useful in preparing candidates who plan to sit for the American Board of Toxicology’s (ABT) certification exam.
This course is held in person with an intimate class size (50–60 people/year) to facilitate dynamic interaction with expert speakers and fellow participants. Participants have direct access to speakers during lectures and for a short time afterwards to gain clarity on specialized subjects. The in-person format also enables network and relationship building that is key to a successful career in toxicology. Participants will also have access to meticulously prepared online materials, including speaker slides and a practice ABT-style exam.
Testimonials from 2023 course participants:
