Abstract
Outsourcing of preclinical developmental and reproductive toxicology testing (DART) is accelerating, but the availability of experienced, well-qualified individuals responsible for DART is diminishing. Current DART training at all levels is anemic. We identify four requisite training areas including hands-on technical skills, scientific knowledge, management, and oral/written communications. We suggest that comprehensive training could be accomplished through DART-targeted certificate programs or post-baccalaureate curricula designed and funded by the combined efforts of industry consortia, contract research organizations, government, and academia. Graduates of such training would be better able to serve as DART technicians, study directors, study monitors or regulatory scientists.
期刊介绍：
The aims and scope of Current Opinion in Toxicology is to systematically provide the reader with timely and provocative views and opinions of the highest qualified and recognized experts on current advances in selected topics within the field of toxicology. The goal is that Current Opinion in Toxicology will be an invaluable source of information and perspective for researchers, teachers, managers and administrators, policy makers and students. Division of the subject into sections: For this purpose, the scope of Toxicology is divided into six selected high impact themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year: Mechanistic Toxicology, Metabolic Toxicology, Risk assessment in Toxicology, Genomic Toxicology, Systems Toxicology, Translational Toxicology.
