The aim of this continuing education course is to bring up-to-date reviews on the environment, tools and paradigms of toxicologic pathology. It aims to highlight current issues and trends in drug safety and risk assessment through important examples of major target organs and mechanisms of toxicity. The course content and program have been designed to suit the needs of veterinary/toxicologic pathologists and toxicologists in practice as well as residents in pathology who are preparing for ECVP/ACVP examinations. As every year, the organizing committee will invite internationally-known experts from industry and academia to share their experience at this symposium. The course will be taught in English (No simultaneous translation to any language will be available).
