Last week, three members of our team attended the American College of Medical Toxicology Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston, thanks, in part, to generous funding from the Gesa Credit Union Foundation.

Van, one of our pharmacists and poison specialists, appreciated the opportunity: “Attending the ACMT 2026 conference was an invaluable experience. It offered a tremendous opportunity to explore emerging toxicology trends, engage with cutting-edge research, and gain insight into the advantages and challenges of poisoning management across the globe.”

Dr. Colleen Cowdery, our Chief Medical Officer – who also presented - adds, “It’s always great to do some in-person networking, too. Thanks to the formal (and informal) meetings around the conference, Washington Poison Center is able to stay involved in new and ongoing research from around the nation.”

We’re grateful for opportunities like this that keep us learning, growing, and bringing the best care practices back to the communities we serve.
