Professional toxicologists across the world pursue certifications to add value to their credentials as part of their career development. There are three primary professional certifications in toxicology.

• The American Board of Toxicology (ABT) offers Diplomate status to qualified individuals who demonstrate relevant education, actively practice in toxicology, and pass a comprehensive examination.
• The European Registry of Toxicologists (ERT) includes toxicologists, who demonstrate knowledge of the major areas of toxicology. This knowledge can be acquired by either following an appropriate academic program, e.g. by attending courses, or by practical experience and on the job training. At least 5 years of relevant toxicological experience is needed.
• The Academy of Toxicological Sciences (ATS) awards Fellow status to individuals with demonstrated contributions to the discipline of toxicology over their career, as judged by peer review of relevant education, professional practice in toxicology, and professional recognition.

Each of these three certifications is complementary, professionally valuable, and has unique requirements for eligibility. This webinar will provide a primer on eligibility, value, and maintenance for each certification followed by a Q&A session.
