Hello docs,
I am applying the next coming cycle to med schools and, lately, I have developed an interest in Emergency Medicine, and Toxicology. Below are few questions I would like to get answers for:
1. Do EM Toxicology-trained physicians practice in regular ED's, or do they only work at poison centers, the CDC and other government agencies?
2. Is there a preference for 4-year residency trained physicians over the 3-year trained ones when it comes to do the fellowship?
3. Are medical toxicologists compensated more? (despite my interest in medical toxicology, I would greatly dislike to spend two extra years in training and not being financially rewarded).
Thank you and forgive my naivety.
