Why Medical Science Institute

Study Toxicology with MSI

This course provides an in-depth examination of toxicology, the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms. Students will explore the principles of toxicology, including the mechanisms of toxicity, dose-response relationships, and the metabolism of toxins. Through case studies, virtual labs, and practical applications, students will learn to identify toxic agents, understand their effects on biological systems, and assess the risk associated with exposure to various chemicals. This course prepares students for advanced studies and careers in environmental health, pharmacology, and forensic science.

Understand the fundamental principles of toxicology.
Identify and describe the mechanisms of toxicity for various classes of chemicals.
Explain the dose-response relationship and its significance in toxicology.
Develop proficiency in interpreting toxicological data.
Apply toxicological knowledge to assess the risk of chemical exposure.
