Award Overview

The Medical Toxicology Foundation is pleased to announce the Dr. Carol R. Angle Pediatric Toxicology Travel Award!

Dr. Carol R. Angle is an established legacy in the world of medical toxicology and a woman who has made a significant impact on many levels as a pediatrician, nephrologist and noted expert on lead poisoning. She is renowned as a physician scientist whose pioneering work in these areas remains incredibly relevant today. Dr. Angle continues to be an inspiring figure and highly regarded leader.

Unfortunately, the number of pediatric-trained medical toxicologists is declining as the need for this unique combination of training grows. In establishing this travel award with the MTF, Dr. Angle’s goal is to encourage pediatric residents and medical students to pursue Medical Toxicology fellowship training.

Up to two recipients will be selected and provided with fund reimbursement of up to $1,500 to support travel, meals, and lodging to attend the 2025 ACMT Annual Scientific Meeting in Vancouver, Canada, April 4-6, 2025.
