By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the fundamental principles of clinical toxicology.
• Apply structured approaches to the assessment of poisoned patients.
• Recognize common toxidromes and their clinical implications.
• Identify indications and limitations of decontamination and antidotal therapy.
• Integrate medical and psychosocial considerations in toxicology cases.
This course provides a structured and clinically focused introduction to essential principles of clinical toxicology, designed to support healthcare professionals in the recognition, assessment, and initial management of poisoned patients. The course emphasizes real-world clinical decision-making, prioritization of patient safety, and evidence-based approaches aligned with international toxicology standards. Core topics include toxic syndromes, risk assessment, decontamination strategies, antidotal therapy, interpretation of laboratory data, and the integration of psychosocial considerations in toxicology cases. The content is delivered through case-based scenarios, interactive discussions, and practical frameworks applicable to emergency and acute care settings.
After completing the course, participants will be able to:
• Perform an initial toxicological assessment safely and systematically.
• Differentiate between major toxidromes based on clinical presentation.
• Make informed decisions regarding decontamination and antidote use.
• Interpret toxicology-related laboratory results appropriately.
• Determine safe disposition and recognize the importance of mental health evaluation in poisoning cases.
You must attend all lectures and complete the survey to obtain the certificate.
