SYRACUSE - The 24th annual Toxicology Teaching Day is coming up on November 4th. This year it will be virtual for the first time in its history. To keep everyone safe, all you have to do is register for the event online, log-on and prepare to learn how to care for the poisoned patient.

Each year around 100 physicians, pharmacists, nurses and other health care providers who routinely care for poisoned patients attend the daylong event. This specially designed program is intended to provide extensive, high-quality, up-to-date information required for the management of toxicologic health problems. 

Speakers' topics this year included: a discussion on COVID-19 and therapeutic toxicities, COVID-19 and home poisonings and public health implications, a lecture on toxins causing Nystagmus and on dietary supplements. Plus, our popular 'Escape from the Tox Room' exercise.
