This event is apart of the “Where can chemistry take me?” series. This Third discussion looks at Michael, a current pharmaceutical science graduate student and forensic toxicologist who was a chemistry major in undergrad. We will discuss:

1. How do you get into a toxicology focused program?

2. What are some good pharmaceutical science programs and schools?

3. How does a typical day look in toxicology research and working in industry?

4. What type of jobs does a forensic toxicologist do?

5. How do you transition to a program like pharmaceutical sciences from a BSc. program in chemistry?

6. How can I be a competitive candidate for a pharmaceutical science program?

Michael will also share his current experience as a graduate student, and then we will move into an open Q and A session.

This event is apart of the “Where can chemistry take me?” series. This first discussion looks at current medical students who were chemistry majors in undergrad. We discuss how being a chemistry major prepared them for MCAT exams, helped them in medical school, and any advice they would have for students who are considering becoming a chemistry major in preparation for medical school.

They will also share their current experiences as medical students, and then have an open Q and A session.
