For Professionals

Harvard Medical Toxicology Fellowship

The Harvard Medical Toxicology fellowship training program at Boston Children’s Hospital is operated through the hospital’s Emergency Department, in cooperation with Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The toxicology service  is comprised of staff toxicologists, all of whom are jointly appointed by Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

The fellowship is two years in duration and is available to graduates of ACGME-approved residency programs in Pediatrics or Emergency Medicine. Fellows see between 250-300 in-person consults between Boston Children’s Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center. One of the many benefits of the fellowship training program is its close relationship with the Regional Center for Poison Control and Prevention, serving Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The Center, which received 45,000 calls in 2021, provides the administrative facility and primary training site for the fellowship. Fellows participate in toxicology consultations and admissions, daily poison center rounds, didactic seminars, research presentations, literature review, as well as statistical methods/research design and clinical management conferences. The fellow will also have extensive teaching opportunities throughout the hospital and other affiliated institutions. Throughout their tenure, fellows work closely with a diverse and experienced faculty with a range of specialties, including environmental toxicology, epidemiology and bioterrorism preparedness, among others.
