Participant Testimonials

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.
