The University of Jordan (UJ) students continue to achieve one success after another, as they recently secured first place in the Arab Toxicology Competition, held as part of the activities of the Sixth International Conference on Pharmacology and Toxicology (KSAPT 2025) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
UJ was represented by a distinguished student team consisting of Ahmad Luay Aburrub from the School of Medicine, Nada Yousef Radi from the School of Pharmacy, and Yazan Mousa Abu Shanab from the School of Nursing, under the supervision of Dr. Yazan Al-Rashdan from the School of Pharmacy.
The Arab Toxicology Competition, launched in 2021 during the Second International Conference on Toxicology and Pharmacology, is a prestigious regional initiative for healthcare students. Initially a national initiative, it expanded to include 50 universities across the Arab world by 2024.
The competition fosters scientific collaboration, evidence-based decision-making, and multidisciplinary teamwork. It features simulations, case studies, hands-on workshops, and expert-led discussions, making it a leading platform for toxicology education.
This accomplishment highlights UJ’s leadership and excellence in medical, pharmaceutical, and health sciences education and underscores the competence and distinction of its students in regional and international scientific arenas.
