2025 Risk Assessment Bootcamp Highlights

Testimonials from the 2025 Participants

The boot camp served as a great opportunity to take what I’ve learn in my courses and hear about it from those who practice risk assessment professionally.

I have already recommended this to my colleagues. Not only could it be a great refresher, but it’s very interesting to hear things from the vantage point of other industries.

The Risk Assessment Bootcamp at Rutgers was a valuable opportunity to learn the latest concepts in risk assessment.  The faculty were experienced risk assessors from diverse areas and able to give knowledgeable answers to practical questions.  There was plenty of interaction with the faculty, as well as an opportunity to tour the EOSHI facilities.

This was a great opportunity to brush up my risk assessment working knowledge in an intensive but informal environment

This boot camp allowed me to gain insight into risk assessment from many fields, from pharmacokinetics and dynamic, does response, to sampling. Overall was a very engaging and worthwhile to attend.

10/10 would recommend. A wonderful opportunity to learn the fundamentals of risk assessment and practice their applications with professionals in various industries of expertise.

This boot camp was an informative peak behind the curtain that gave me a better understanding of the risk assessment methods used to support regulatory policy.

The Risk Assessment boot camp was amazing and realistic because of the panels’ varied expertise. Run, dont walk to the risk assessment boot camp.

I came into this Bootcamp knowing nothing about Risk Assessment and now I have a much broader familiarity with terms, the components to consider, and how to approach reaching a clear conclusion.

 

Incredibly useful way in which to ascertain what happens with research after you are done with it. Important to making sure the publication and research we put out can be used for the betterment of industry, individuals, and community.

 

You all did a fantastic job presenting an immense amount of information.
