ACMT CONNECTION E-News: September 2018
IN REVIEW: Board Review Course and Total Tox Course
On September 5-7, ACMT held two events at the Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront in Chicago, IL. The 2018 Board Review Course (BRC) broke attendance records with 168 attendees—the highest ever! ACMT’s Total Tox Course, a pilot event offered by ACMT, which had 92 attendees, focused on medical toxicology topics of interest to emergency providers, including toxicological issues of current clinical and public health importance.
