Training clinicians in pediatric pharmacology-toxicology: the Toronto model.

Established in 1979, the Toronto Program in Pediatric Pharmacology has trained pediatricians and pharmacists from over 30 countries and five continents. Within the training guidelines of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the philosophy of the program is tailoring the goals to meet the specific needs and career goals of each trainee. The program will continue to prepare pediatricians for the rapidly changing challenges of rational drug therapy for children.
