We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in ACMT’s online toxicology education efforts with the completion of the ACMT/ALiEM Toxicology Visual Pearls series' 50th post. This collaborative effort between the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) and Academic Life in Emergency Medicine (ALiEM) has been a beacon of open-access, expert peer-reviewed, and visually engaging educational content in the field of medical toxicology.

Led by the dedicated trio of Drs. Louise Kao and Bryan Judge from ACMT and Dr. Michelle Lin from ALiEM, this series has been making waves since its inception in 2017. Dr. Louise Kao marked the beginning of this educational journey with the first pearl on the "Suicide Plant" in April of that year, and the project has been going strong ever since.

In 2023, the Toxicology Visual Pearls series witnessed a record-breaking number of 14 contributions, showcasing the growing interest and support from the ACMT community. A heartfelt thank you goes out to: Matthew Salzman, Spencer Greene, Chris Holstege, Lewis Nelson, Blake Froberg, Tharwat El Zahran, Vik Bebarta, Brent Furbee, Rob Hendrickson, Daniel Ovakim, Eric Brush, Jeff Suchard, David Jang, and Kathy Kopec. These busy physicians generously volunteered their time and expertise to support this valuable educational resource.

The Toxicology Visual Pearls series operates on a unique format, presenting medical toxicology-related visual stimuli followed by insightful questions and discussions. This format not only engages learners but also provides a dynamic and interactive learning experience. The pearls cover a wide array of toxicological topics, offering practical insights that are relevant to emergency medicine practitioners, toxicologists, and medical professionals alike.

As of December 2023, the project has garnered an impressive 69,907 viewers, solidifying its place as one of ACMT’s most successful and far-reaching online educational projects. This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of the authors, editors, and contributors who have made this activity so successful.

The ACMT/ALiEM Toxicology Visual Pearls series remains committed to its mission of providing accessible, high-quality education to the global medical community. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to continuing our journey of sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and advancing the field of medical toxicology through innovative educational initiatives.

Here's to 50 pearls and counting, and to the bright future of online medical toxicology education!
