Introduction to Toxicology

The Fundamentals of Medical Toxicology elective offers medical students an in-depth exploration of the principles, mechanisms, and clinical implications of toxic substances on human health. This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of toxicology, including the identification, assessment, and management of poisonings and toxic exposures. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and interactive discussions, students will gain insights into the diverse range of toxic agents, their effects on different organ systems, and evidence-based approaches to patient care. By delving into the field of toxicology, students will develop critical thinking skills and the ability to make informed clinical decisions in cases of toxic exposures.
