Activity Announcements, Updates, and Opportunities

American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT)

On May 1, ACMT issued a statement advocating to discontinue the term “excited delirium”: “The term ‘excited delirium’ was first used to describe agitated patients with cocaine toxicity and later as a cause of death in hyperactive individuals where autopsy failed to identify a more specific lethal medical or traumatic cause. Because the term ‘excited delirium’ is used in multiple distinct contexts with various underlying causes, and has become associated with racism, it is time to discontinue the use of this term.”

Registration for the 12th Annual Meeting of the ASCCT opens on June 15. Featured speakers for the meeting taking place October 23–25, 2023, in Silver Spring, Maryland, will include SOT member Lorna Ewart, PhD, Emulate, and Jessica Mavadia-Shukla, PhD, US Food and Drug Administration.
