Medical toxicology is closely related to
clinical toxicology, with the latter discipline encompassing non-physicians as well (generally
pharmacists or
scientists).
In
outpatient clinics, offices, and job sites, medical toxicologists evaluate the health impact from acute and chronic exposure to toxic substances in the workplace, home, and general environment.[1]
In
medical schools, universities, and clinical training sites, medical toxicologists teach, research, and provide advanced
evidence-based patient care.[1]
