Fourth year medical students on the 4-week Clinical Toxicology & Pharmacology Elective (EM 140.43) learn to assess clinical problems relating to the toxic effects of drugs and poisons. Students participate in case discussions of poisonings and drug overdoses and perform follow-up telephone calls on hospitalized patients.
The Clinical Toxicology Service is a function of the San Francisco Division of the California Poison Control System.
