Indeed, part of the program involves completion of an independent research project in a faculty member's laboratory. This multidisciplinary program is similar to the BSc Honors in Pharmacology and Toxicology in that there is a small class size and it involves an independent research project in the fourth year. Oral and written communication skills as well as political and economic perspectives of course material are important aspects of the program. The Department contributes to the 4 yr general BMSc program. The objective of this program is to provide a high quality education in the Medical Sciences, while providing maximum choice and flexibility in course selection among the basic medical sciences and allowing for selection of electives from other Faculties.
Many graduates are active researchers working in academia as well as industry.
The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology also participates in a number of multidisciplinary graduate programs, including the Graduate Program in Neuroscience , the Graduate Program in Environmental Science , and the Graduate Program in Molecular Biology.
