The Oklahoma Center for Toxicology provides an additional dimension to graduate, post-doctoral and residency programs in toxicology, occupational and environmental health, industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, and the basic biomedical sciences. The Graduate Program in Toxicology provides predoctoral and postdoctoral training programs designed to establish researchers in academic, governmental, and industrial positions.
Predoctoral students take a core program in the basic sciences and toxicology.
Elective courses and laboratory research are emphasized. The programs promote individualized training of graduate students and close relationships between students and faculty. There is an active seminar program and good collaborative relationships with faculty at the other Colleges. The Oklahoma Center for Toxicology has excellent modern research facilities and the faculty have research support from both private and governmental sources. There is a substantial need for well-trained professional toxicologists who are capable of exercising judgment in risk assessment and developing new methods for the efficient application of toxicology to fill positions in private industry, government and academia.
