The division plays a leading role in drug safety and effectiveness, and in drug policy
The Division of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology leads the Department of Medicine in academic contributions overall and for education. This includes year-round supervision of medical students and residents on internal medicine, critical care and emergency department clinical services at St. Joseph’s Healthcare and Hamilton Health Sciences, as well as elective rotations through our specialty inpatient and eConsult service.
The recent department initiative to quantify and rank academic activities of all faculty has shown that clinical pharmacologists are amongst the top percentile group. One of the unique features of the division is its ability to directly impact professional practice and patient care through drug policy decision-making.
The division plays a leading role in several national and provincial training programs in drug safety and effectiveness, and in drug policy. National Pharmacare implementation and upgrading national pharmaceutical pricing processes, are recent areas of focus. The division continues to be highly successful in attracting research funding, largely because of a very wide collaborative network within medicine, pharmacy, nursing, epidemiology, economics and the social sciences.
