Medical, Forensic and Regulatory Toxicology

Aim

The aim of the course is to introduce participants to medical, forensic, and regulatory toxicology. The course will focus on the recognition and treatment of intoxica­tions. Much attention will be paid to the daily practice of medical and forensic toxicology. Basic skills for expert witnesses giving evidence in court will be learned.

Most if not all toxicologists will touch upon regulatory issues sooner or later in their career. Basic knowledge of legal principles in common law is, therefore, essential for toxicology registrars. Knowledge on laws pertaining to pharmaceuticals and other chemicals should be acquired.
