Abstract
The Medical Toxicology Subboard approved modifications to the Core Content of Medical Toxicology in March 2021. The document outlines the areas of knowledge considered essential for the practice of medical toxicology. The Core Content provides the organizational framework for the development of the Medical Toxicology Certification and Cognitive Expertise Examinations and serves as a template for the development of curricula for medical toxicology fellowship training programs.
Highlights
Contemporary medical curricula strive to “achieve a symbiosis with the health services and communities in which the students will serve” [1]
After final editing and cross-referencing, the final Core Content document was approved by the Medical Toxicology Subboard
The methodology applied in the development of the 2021 Core Content involved detailed analysis of the previous Core Content documents and ultimate consensus among the task force members
Summary
Contemporary medical curricula strive to “achieve a symbiosis with the health services and communities in which the students will serve” [1]. In 2000, and again in 2009, the Medical Toxicology Subboard convened a task force charged with updating the existing Core Content document, and to improve the framework that conceptualized the expanding body of knowledge of medical toxicology. These task forces solicited input from program directors for medical toxicology fellowship training programs and medical toxicology diplomates and established an ABEM contact and e-mail for recommendations about the Core Content from all medical toxicologists [2, 3]. After final editing and cross-referencing, the final Core Content document was approved by the Medical Toxicology Subboard
