Toxicology Pharmacy Fellowship

The Indiana Poison Center at Indiana University Health offers a two-year Toxicology Pharmacy Fellowship. The goal of the fellowship is to graduate practitioners with the ability to provide the professional, administrative, and research roles in a regional poison center, clinical toxicology service, and academic environment. The program will prepare the fellow for credentialing by the American Board of Applied Toxicology through the development of clinical toxicology skills and the management of poisoned patients. The fellow will participate in the Medical Toxicology Service, which consults on poisoned patients at IU Methodist Hospital, IU Health University Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health, and Eskenazi Hospital, and provide poison center services to the state of Indiana through the Indiana Poison Center. Required rotations include one month each of emergency medicine, critical care, and poison center operations. Additional rotation or longitudinal opportunities include pediatric emergency medicine, adult and pediatric critical care, hazmat life support training, poison center administration, de-prescribing initiatives, toxicosurveillance, legal/forensic toxicology cases, research, and other non-ICU elective rotations.
