Meet our 2020-2022 Medical Toxicology Fellow
Below is an introduction to one of our medical toxicology fellows at our poison center through June 2022.
My name is Cory Howard, MD, and I am a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Emergency Medicine and a Medical Toxicology Fellow at the poison center. I am originally from the west coast, but I have lived in many different places around the U.S. with my family as a child and also as an adult during college and medical school. I found my way to Syracuse for Emergency Medicine residency at Upstate and discovered a passion for Toxicology in the process. I chose to pursue a career in medical toxicology because of how interesting, challenging and rewarding I found the specialty. I was elated to be able to stay in Syracuse to be able to do this! I enjoy staying current with emergency medicine and hope to be able to bring my toxicology expertise to continue to educate residents and/or fellows in the future. During my free time I enjoy cooking, hiking, kayaking, skateboarding, and swimming with my wife and family.
The Upstate New York Poison Center is a training site for both Medical Toxicology Fellows and Clinical Toxicology Fellows. Medical Toxicology is officially recognized as a medical subspecialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Visit our Medical Toxicology Fellowship Program website for complete information.
