A pharmacologist is a medical doctor who is involved in pharmacology—the study of how substances interact with living organisms and how this then leads of a change in function. There are many associations around the world involved in training and accrediting pharmacologists, the best known being perhaps the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Inc., founded in 1908, which publishes the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics each month; and the British Pharmacological Society, founded in 1931, which publishes the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology each month and the British Journal of Pharmacology twice monthly.
