Engage in the stimulating world of toxicology in the third event of the GUEMS Simulation programme. Open to medical students at all levels, this session combines theoretical teaching with practical teaching, featuring two simulated scenarios. Without any prerequisite experience required, join us for this enriching educational event on Glasgow University campus. Venue details will be updated soon. Make sure not to miss out on this unique learning opportunity!
Understanding Concepts: By the end of the session, participants will understand the primary concepts of toxicology, including exposure, dose-response, and distribution of toxicants.
Clinical Application: Participants will learn how to apply theoretical toxicology knowledge in a clinical setting, specifically identifying signs and symptoms of toxic exposure and determining appropriate treatments.
Simulation Scenarios: Attendees will gain hands-on experience through two simulation scenarios, aiming to enhance their application of toxicology knowledge in practical, real-life medical situations.
Cross-disciplinary Knowledge: Participants will learn how toxicology interacts with other areas of medicine, and the importance of considering potential toxic exposure in the differential diagnosis process.
Analytical Skills: By the end of the session, medical students should develop their analytical skills to assess and diagnose potential cases of toxicology, including understanding potential sources, physical manifestations, and how to initiate appropriate treatment plans.
