We congratulate Emily Kiernan, DO, assistant professor of emergency medicine and medical toxicology, who has been awarded a $2 million Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) grant to implement tele-addiction services in rural counties in the state of Georgia as part of the Rural Communities Opioid Response Program – Behavioral Health Care Support.

The Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) has received a 2-year grant to continue its toxicosurveillance Novel Opioids and Stimulant Exposure (NOSE) project.

We are thrilled to announce that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has awarded ACMT a new 5-year $7.9 million contract to expand ACMT’s Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) drug surveillance activities.

At the recent ACMT Board meeting at NACCT, the Board members elected Andrew Stolbach to the Executive Committee where he will begin his term immediately following the 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in San Diego next spring. 

Thank you to everyone who attended ACMT’s activities at 2022 NACCT. It was so wonderful to see so many colleagues in-person!

At the conclusion of an excellent NACCT in San Francisco, words cannot fully express how much I enjoyed meeting in person again. From the rigorous educational discussions of current toxicologic issues, to networking and socializing with friends from all over the world, I am reminded of how much I value and respect our toxicology community and the bonds and missions we share.
