We would like to inform you that the Course Commentary is now available. The Course Commentary is a compilation of comments from the 2012-2013 course evaluations, as well as a compilation of very helpful course-specific tips from previous students. You can access the document via the link below or through the resources page:

We apologize for not getting the Commentary out sooner and we would like to thank all the students that made contributions to it.

Before then if you have any questions about PharmTox courses feel free to reach out to us through our facebook page and we will do our best to answer your questions.

Welcome to our new website! We hope that you’ll find it easier to navigate through our new format.

In the About page, you can find out more about the PTSA and the executive team, how you can keep in touch with us, and why there seems to be a grapefruit in our banner.

The Resources page is where you can find data from our Course and Instructor Evaluations, compiled from annual student surveys. You can also find useful links to the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology and to our affiliated student unions.
