For over 35 years, the Maryland Poison Center has provided health care providers with assistance in treating poisonings and overdoses. Not only does the poison center provide telephone consultation in an acute poisoning emergency, but we are also an educational resource for health professionals throughout Maryland. Our goal is to improve the quality and effectiveness of care provided to patients by offering on-site education programs to physicians, nurses, physician assistants, EMS providers and pharmacists involved with assessing and treating these patients.
Education programs are offered as inservices, grand rounds or other presentations, and are provided by pharmacists, nurses and physicians who are trained and nationally certified in toxicology. Many topics are offered. Choose one or more from the list below or ask about other topics you are interested in. Most presentations are one hour long, but may be tailored to your needs. There is no charge for programs, however, we do request a minimum of 10 participants and all programs must be arranged at least one month in advance. We will make every attempt to provide a speaker when it is most convenient for your staff.
