Description
This travel award was established to encourage medical trainees (students or residents), who self-identify as members of any underrepresented group, to attend ACMT’s Annual Scientific Meeting. The award honors the memory and contributions of Dr. Michael Shannon, an ACMT Past President who passed in 2009. Dr. Shannon was the first African American to serve as a division chief at Children's Hospital Boston and served as chief of both the emergency medicine and clinical pharmacology departments. Initially funded through ACMT’s cooperative agreement with ATSDR, this award is now funded entirely by the Medical Toxicology Foundation.
