Consultants' Conference is a monthly meeting attended by medical toxicologists, emergency physicians, pharmacists and other learners from all over the Northeast. It is an educational activity in which the Consultants (renowned experts in various medical specialties) provide insight into the analysis and approach to the diagnosis and treatment of interesting toxicologic cases. The cases are presented mostly by the NYU Toxicology fellows in training, but anyone can present their case if deemed appropriate. Learners of all levels can benefit from the rich and often dynamic discourse.

The next NYC PCC Grand Rounds and Consultants' Conference will be held on Thursday December 2, 2021. Grand Rounds will start at 1PM EST and Consultants' Conference will follow immediately. The topic and speaker will be:

A medical toxicologist in Ghana:

Samara Soghoian, BSc, MA, MD

Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine

The Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine

Consultants' Conference will take place from 2 PM - 4 PM EST.

2.        Three siblings (ages: 15 months old, 4 years old and 7 years old) are brought to the ED by their mother because of a concern for "antifreeze" ingestion three hours ago. The children are all asymptomatic and all have vital signs that are within normal limits.
