This elective course introduces the student to the basic principles of toxicology, including the absorption and disposition of toxicants, mechanisms of toxicity, and non-specific toxicity such as carcinogenesis, gene and developmental toxicity; as well as characteristic target-organ toxicity. The course presents the hallmark toxic responses and mechanisms of action of specific classes of toxicants, including drugs, pesticides, and environmental and industrial agents; with discussion of standards of treatment and support of the poisoned patient. Concepts and insights into fields of applied toxicology (forensic, clinical, and occupational) will be introduced and discussed.
