BMDS Training Videos
J. Allen Davis, MSPH, co-Principal Investigator for the Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS), presents a series of videos on benchmark dose modeling concepts, the application's numerous modeling choices, and the BMDS Online application.
Allen has presented these programs at live trainings, and has adapted them for video replay.
The intended audience for this training are risk assessors.

Benchmark Dose Modeling - Introduction
The Introduction training module defines basic terms related to benchmark dose modeling, discusses the advantages of using the BMD methodology over the older NOAEL/LOAEL approach, covers the types of toxicity data that can be modeled using Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS), and introduces useful dose-response reference materials .
Dose-Response Data
The Dose-Response Data training module covers the various dose-response data types that users can model using Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS) and BMDS Online.
Model Suites
The Model Suites training module discusses the various models available in Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS) and BMDS Online, including how parameter values impact model behavior and model parameter restrictions.
Selecting Dichotomous BMR
The Selecting Dichotomous BMR training module discusses the various benchmark response (BMR) types that users can currently use to model dichotomous data in Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS) and BMDS Online.
Selecting Continuous BMR
The Selecting Continuous BMR training module discusses the various benchmark response (BMR) types that users can currently use to model continuous data in Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS) and BMDS Online.
Model Fit Statistics
The Model Fit Statistics training module covers the various statistical approaches that users can employ to judge model fit in Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS) and BMDS Online.
Selecting Best Single Model
The Selecting Best Single Model training module covers the approaches to select the best fitting model in Benchmark Dose Software (BMDS) and BMDS Online, and how to effectively document BMD analyses for sharing with colleagues.
