ACT is committed to educate, lead, and serve professionals in toxicology and related disciplines by promoting the exchange of information and perspectives on applied toxicology and safety assessment.
Consider becoming an active participant in ACT and our vibrant membership by participating in our committees and initiatives. There are numerous elected and appointed positions that let you work with your colleagues to support ACT’s mission to Educate, Lead, and Serve.
The American College of Toxicology (ACT) hosts its hallmark event, the ACT Annual Meeting every November. The Annual Meeting is an opportunity for toxicologists to attend continuing education courses, interactive Workshops, and Symposia, which deliver state-of-the-art toxicological science supporting human safety, innovative technologies, and regulatory science. In addition, it is an excellent opportunity to network and meet old and new colleagues and friends.
ACT outreach programs provide worldwide financial support through the ACT Endowment so that selected students can attend our annual meeting and participate in the College’s activities. To learn more about the Endowment or contribute to this legacy, visit the Endowment section of the website.
Our focus is on providing exceptional year-round in-person courses, on-demand eLearning opportunities, and topical webinars and podcasts to members and nonmembers alike throughout the year. We also offer a preparatory course for those intending to take the American Board of Toxicology examination.
Our online platform, interACT, facilitates networking and collaboration among ACT members. On interACT, you can access member contact information, read past issues of the ACT quarterly newsletter, ACTimes, learn about career advancement programs, and explore new career possibilities at the online Career Center.
ACT also seeks to advance the field of applied toxicology by contributing to scientific literature. Our official journal, the International Journal of Toxicology, publishes timely manuscripts on contemporary issues in toxicology. If you are interested in submitting a manuscript or subscribing to the Journal, check out the Journal section of the website. Members enjoy complimentary access to this valuable resource.
