Welcome. You found your global home in toxicology.
Whether you clicked through from an email or found us on your own — we’re glad you’re here. ACMT offers three pathways for international professionals. Here’s everything you need to know to find the right fit and apply.
International Member
$240/per year
Full membership privileges (except voting and holding office) for physicians practicing medical toxicology outside the U.S. Eligible for FACMT designation after 4 years.
International Member – Reduced Rate
$60/per year
Same membership, same privileges — priced for physicians in World Bank–classified low-income or lower-middle-income countries. Identical eligibility requirements.
International Affiliate
$240/per year
For licensed physicians or non-physician professionals with an advanced degree who live and work outside the U.S. and are engaged in or interested in medical toxicology.
Eligibility
Physicians practicing medical toxicology outside the United States may be eligible for International Membership. Applicants must be approved by the Membership Committee and submit three referrals, including at least one from a current ACMT member.
At least one of the following applies:
- More than half of your medical toxicology practice occurs outside the United States, or
- You are ineligible to sit for ABMS or AOBEM board certification because residency or fellowship training was completed outside the U.S.
- You have completed a training program in a primary specialty equivalent to a U.S. residency program
- You are actively engaged in the practice of medical toxicology
International Affiliate Membership
Affiliate Membership is designed for a broad range of professionals who aren’t physicians — or who are physicians whose work doesn’t meet the International Member criteria. Eligible applicants include licensed professionals with an advanced-level degree or ABAT certification who work in a field related to medical toxicology or who have demonstrated a strong interest in the specialty.
This includes pharmacists, advanced practice nurses, poison center managers, forensic toxicologists, veterinarians with toxicology specializations, clinical laboratory scientists, epidemiologists, environmental health specialists, and more. Not sure if you qualify? Email us — we’re always happy to help.
International Affiliate members enjoy nearly all membership benefits — access to educational resources, networking, and engagement with the community — except voting, holding office, or eligibility for the FACMT designation.
Application requires: one referral. International applicants complete the same form as U.S. affiliates.
Don’t Know an ACMT Member? That’s Okay!
Our membership applications ask for references, but we understand that not everyone has a personal connection with an ACMT member, especially if you’re new to the field or just discovering our community.
If you don’t have an ACMT member to serve as a reference, simply complete the short statement included in the application. We’ll ask you to share what you hope to gain from ACMT membership, how you hope to contribute to the College and its community, and why you’re interested in joining.
In place of member references, the Membership Committee will review your statement along with your CV and will reach out if they have any additional questions.
Please don’t let a lack of personal connections within ACMT discourage you from applying. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and career stages, and we’re always excited to meet future members who are passionate about medical toxicology.
