Division of Medical Toxicology
The UC San Diego Division of Medical Toxicology is the largest and longest tenured medical toxicology program in Southern California, providing clinical services since 1992. The Division currently consists of eight faculty and four fellows in training, directed by Richard Clark, MD.
The Division performs in-person consultation services at UC San Diego Health, Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego, and VA San Diego Health Care. It also provides phone-based consultation services in support of the California Poison Control System. Faculty members Richard Clark, MD and Lee Cantrell, PharmD direct the San Diego Division of this system, which covers San Diego, Imperial, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties. Finally, outpatient telemedicine services are available on a limited basis (referral required; only available in California).
