In order to meet our mission, the Maryland Poison Center provides a variety of different types of education to meet the needs of our different customers. The Education section of this site is divided into two broad categories: Public and Health Professional education.
Our Public educational efforts are geared towards non-health professionals. These resources are intended to help increase the awareness of the potential poisons that are found in every home, business, and school, to help prevent poisonings from occurring, and for those cases where a poisoning does occur, to make sure everyone knows that they can quickly and easily get information to help those patients by contacting the Maryland Poison Center. From this section, you can view examples of poison prevention and awareness brochures, Mr Yuk stickers, and other resources.
Our Health Professional educational efforts are targeted towards the special needs of health professionals. These materials are primarily designed to help the clinician better manage poisoning and overdose cases that end up in a health care facility.
