RMPDS has trained over 70 medical and clinical toxicologists since launching the first Medical Toxicology fellowship program in 1976. We have several programs in which we train medical and clinical toxicologists, from the United States and abroad. We also accept students and clinicians for rotations in Toxicology.

Our clinical guidelines are nationally-recognized and formed the foundation of Poisindex ®, an information system that is now used by all poison centers across the country. We offer many opportunities to learn about and to manage a great range of poisonings and exposures from a variety of sources:

The Rocky Mountain Poison Center (RMPC), in operation since 1956 and certified through the American Association of Poison Control Centers, is the one of the busiest and one of the oldest poison centers in the US. Our primary service area encompasses Colorado, Montana, Hawaii, and Nevada (helping serve Mississippi at night); though physician phone consultations extend nation and worldwide. The RMPC handles approximately 100,000 human exposure calls per year of which approximately 4,000 involve direct input from medical toxicology physicians. The fellowship is operated through Denver Health Medical Center, a Level 1 regional trauma center within Denver Health and in conjunction with its emergency medicine residency.

• Regional Poison Center serving 4 states (>10 million people) and 100+ industry clients (national/international) managing over 150,000 exposure contacts per year
• Medical Toxicology Service seeing patients bedside in Denver Health Medical Center, University of Colorado Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Colorado
• Experiences from 20 Board Certified Medical Toxicologists who teach and volunteer in our training program
