This educational activity is designed for physicians, mid-level providers, nurses and pharmacists working in emergency medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, critical care, and family medicine. It will particularly interest those preparing to take the Certification as a Specialist in Poison Information (CSPI) examination.
