Students in this course will learn about the human toxicology associated with both pharmaceutical and environmental exposures. General principles and mechanisms of toxicity will be introduced in order to describe how different pharmaceuticals and environmental compounds can lead to adverse effects in humans. Students will apply module content to current toxicological topics through exploration of popular media and the scientific literature. Development of a research proposal contributes to a large proportion of course work and assessment. NOTE Also offered online. Consult Bachelor of Health Sciences program office.
