Occupational & Environmental Tox Boot Camp
Join the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) on Thursday, April 3, 2025 for the Occupational & Environmental Tox Boot Camp at the Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, Canada.
This in-person full-day symposium aims to address a crucial gap in toxicology education by focusing on occupational and environmental toxicology. Led by expert medical toxicologists who are also certified in Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM), the boot camp targets practicing toxicologists, recent grads, fellows in training, and others interested in occupational and environmental toxicology seeking to enhance their knowledge in this field. Through a comprehensive curriculum, attendees will delve into a variety of topics with emphasis on regulatory toxicology, risk assessment, pulmonary toxicology, and reproductive toxicology. Additional topics will include: irritant gasses, organic pollutants, and heavy metals.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop expertise in workplace safety, environmental health, and regulatory compliance.
- Define principles of regulatory toxicology.
- Identify and manage occupational and environmental toxic exposures.
Speakers: All sessions are led by specialists who are dually board-certified in both Medical Toxicology and Occupational Medicine.
Continuing Education: Continuing Medical Education (CME), Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) and Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits are available for this activity. It is expected that learners will receive up to 7.00 credits for learning and change.
