PRE-SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE

STANDARD B4: RESOURCES

Program

Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology

University

Date of Review (month/year)

Sites Participating in this Program:

Where the resources to provide "full training" are not available at the sponsoring university, several different types of interuniversity affiliations may be negotiated. It should be noted that the exchange of residents between two fully accredited programs does not require an interuniversity affiliation.
