Course Overview

In the past fifty years, the regulatory safety sciences have changed surprisingly little. In parallel, our understanding of the life sciences is doubling about every seven years. Regulatory organisations including the US National Toxicology Programme, the European Food Safety Authority, and the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) are starting to use systematic reviews and similar evidence-based methods. To find, choose, evaluate, and extract evidence from various research, they offer techniques that are clear, impartial, and consistent.

The Evidence-based Toxicology certification course will discuss the potential and barriers to the increasing use of these techniques in toxicology while showcasing these recent initiatives. Evidence-based Toxicology training is offered by Johns Hopkins University in partnership with Coursera which is a 19-hour beginner-level course.
