You can search by geographic area or institution, and filter by key details such as program type, training setting, and availability of in-person or remote experiences. Each listing provides an overview of the clerkship, what students can expect, and how to apply or get in touch.

Clerkship Program Description : We provide direct clinical care for toxicology patients admitted to our hospital, which covers both adult and paediatric patients, with daily weekday rounds on those patients lead by consultants (attending) physicians. In addition to pharmaceutical overdose presentations, being based in central London with a large number of night-time economy venues (bars, nightclubs) nearby we see a significant number of acute recreational drug toxicity presentations. We also run the only UK clinical toxicology outpatient clinic where we see a range of new referrals related to chronic poisoning.
