Toxicology is a very important subject in medical science which deals with the study of poisons and their effects in all aspects. Teaching of toxicology in medical school must be evaluated and assessed effectively to know the actual delivery of content and understanding of students. Faculty plays a critical role in the assessment of toxicology education, influencing the effectiveness and outcomes of both traditional and Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) models. This article compares the roles and responsibilities of faculty in traditional and CBME frameworks within toxicology learning. It highlights specific examples of assessments and discusses various types of faculty training required to excel in these educational models. The analysis underscores the need for faculty development to adapt to the evolving demands of toxicology education. In Indian medical colleges, CBME has already been adopted and now it is time to create an excellent faculty development program to enhance assessment levels, particularly in the field of toxicology.
