MCW Emergency Medicine Fellowship in Medical Toxicology

The Fellowship is a two-year program with progressive and graduated responsibility as fellows’ skill develops. In order to ultimately function as an independent medical toxicologist, our program has training goals in three areas: clinical care, education, and research.

All fellows are exposed to academic activities in terms of structured teaching responsibilities and a research requirement. Components of the training program include:

• Daily, formal didactics from faculty members covering the entire core curriculum of medical toxicology as put forward by ABEM
• Inpatient medical toxicology consultation service, serving three hospitals:
  • Children’s Wisconsin
  • Froedtert Hospital
  • Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center
• Outpatient pediatric environmental health clinic at Children’s Wisconsin
• Outpatient occupational and environmental toxicology experience
• Countless teaching opportunities to other fellows, residents, medical and pharmacy students
• Simulation
• Close relationship with the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner
• Mentored research from conception and IRB submission through completion and manuscript preparation
• Submission of abstracts to international toxicology conferences
• Administrative management and medical direction of poison centers
• Addiction medicine outpatient clinic

All applicants must be medical school graduates (MD or DO degree) and have completed an ACGME residency program. Board-eligible physicians in any primary discipline of medicine are encouraged to apply. A Wisconsin medical license (full or in-training) and current DEA certification are also required.

Interested applicants should apply through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). We require applicants to submit a personal statement, CV, and three letters of reference (one from your residency program director) through the ERAS portal.
