Justin Craig Rowlands serves as a senior scientist with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Supply Chain & Sustainability. Complementing his role at UL, Craig Rowlands belongs to the American Board of Toxicology, which recently announced a change to its certification exam.
In 2017, candidates pursuing certification from the American Board of Toxicology will take a new test. Rather than the traditional two-day, three-part certification exam, candidates will take a 200-question, single-day exam. The exam format will include two separate three-hour sessions with a break in between.
On the new exam, each question has only four choices instead of five, and the exam will draw from the tasks and domains of the Practice Analysis from 2016. The domains of the exam are:
- Design, Execute, and Interpret Toxicology Studies (31 percent of the exam)
- Descriptive Toxicology: Environmental, Clinical, Non‐clinical, and Forensic Investigations (13 percent)
- Mechanistic Toxicology (9 percent)
- Risk Assessment (38 percent)
- Applied Toxicology: Public, Environmental, and Occupational Health (9 percent).
