Meet our 2021-2023 Medical Toxicology Fellow
Below is an introduction to the latest medical toxicology fellow to join the poison center through June 2023.
My name is Michael Keenan, MD, and I am from Syracuse. I graduated from Canisius College with a Bachelor of Science and went on to Medical School at SUNY Upstate. I completed my residency in Emergency Medicine at University of Buffalo. I became interested in toxicology while I was a medical student at Upstate after hearing some lectures from the toxicologists. I find the subject fascinating and the toxicologists here are extremely good teachers, ready to train the next generation. Since I’m from Central New York, I’m excited to be back in the area, serving the community where I grew up, and working near my wife who is a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellow. My hobbies include running, cycling, skiing, and rock climbing.
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.
