ABOUT THE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
- This is a "virtual mentor" program developed and funded by the Medical Toxicology Section of the American College of Emergency Medicine Physicians to serve medical students, emergency medicine residents, and physicians who express an interest in medical toxicology.
- At present, there are approximately 300 ABEM-certified medical toxicologists in the United States. Because of these small numbers, students, residents, and faculty at many of the 126 US medical schools and Emergency Medicine residency training programs do not have personal access to mentorship by medical toxicologists.
- The Virtual Mentorship for Toxicology Training Program was developed in coordination and partnership with the SAEM Toxicology Interest Group, the American College of Emergency Medicine, and the American College of Medical Toxicology. This program will assist in promoting a mentorship relationship with established toxicologist and individuals interested in pursuing further training in medical toxicology.
- If you are an interested medical student or physician in learning more about this program or participating in this program, please contact the Program Coordinator, David C. Lee, MD at dlee@nshs.edu
