American College of Medical Toxicology

What American College of Medical Toxicology does

The American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) is a nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1993 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, that serves as the primary US professional society for board-certified medical toxicologists. The organization provides annual membership across five tiers (Full, International, Affiliate, Med Student & Resident, and Fellows-in-Training), recognition credentials including Fellows of the College (FACMT) and Distinguished Fellows (DFACMT), and runs an extensive continuing-education portfolio — Board Review Course, Total Tox Course, Psychedelics Seminar, DEA MATE Act SUD training, National Grand Rounds, National Case Conference, Addiction Toxicology Case Conference, and the Annual Scientific Meeting.

ACMT's core platform is a WordPress-based member website (acmt.net) with an integrated learning management system (education.acmt.net), member directories (Find-a-Toxicologist, Clerkship, Fellowship, Member), and event registration. The organization operates four affiliated entities: the Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) multicenter toxicosurveillance and research registry, the Journal of Medical Toxicology (peer-reviewed, published via Springer), the Medical Toxicology Foundation (charitable research-grant arm), and the ANTIDOTE Institute (educational arm). ACMT also participates in the federally funded PCSS-MAUD initiative led by SAMHSA.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual membership dues and fees from educational programs, conferences, and certification preparation courses. Customer segments include medical toxicologists (primary), medical students and residents, healthcare institutions requiring toxicology consult services, and the public/media seeking toxicology expertise via the Find-a-Toxicologist directory. ACMT reports no app, no public API, and no disclosed AI/technology stack beyond standard membership and learning platforms.

Core offering

ACMT is a nonprofit professional membership organization that provides certification support, educational programs, and research networking for medical toxicologists in the United States. It sells membership subscriptions across multiple categories, delivers continuing medical education through its Learning Center (Total Tox Course, Board Review Course, webinars), operates multicenter research networks such as ToxIC, publishes the Journal of Medical Toxicology, and maintains public-facing directories that connect patients and professionals with qualified toxicologists and training programs.

Product overview

The American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) operates as a professional membership organization providing educational resources, research networks, and professional development services for medical toxicologists. The core offerings include the Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) for multicenter research, the Journal of Medical Toxicology for peer-reviewed publication, and the Medical Toxicology Foundation for research funding. The organization provides directories for finding toxicologists and locating clerkship opportunities, along with an online Learning Center offering courses, webinars, and the Board Review Course for certification preparation. The portfolio also includes partnership resources like PCSS-MAUD for alcohol use disorder training. ACMT's digital presence consists primarily of informational and membership services rather than a unified software platform.

Scale indicators3 records

Broad incumbents

• American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP): ACEP is the largest US professional society for emergency physicians, the parent specialty of medical toxicology. Many ACMT members are ACEP members, and the two compete for member dues, CME content, and policy influence within the EM ecosystem.
• Society of Toxicology (SOT): SOT is the largest global professional society for toxicologists across disciplines (clinical, regulatory, industrial, environmental). It competes with ACMT for the broader toxicology professional audience and offers overlapping conferences, journals, and continuing education.

Direct peers

• American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT): AACT is the closest direct peer — a professional society for clinical toxicologists, providing education, certification, and conferences in toxicology. It operates in parallel to ACMT, with overlapping member populations and competing for clinical toxicology professionals in North America.
• American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC): AAPCC represents the nation's 55 poison control centers and the toxicology specialists staffing them. It is a direct operational peer in clinical toxicology service delivery, certification, and surveillance data, with overlapping member populations and competing education offerings.
• American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG): ACMG is a similarly-sized American College of a medical subspecialty, providing professional certification, journals, CME, and member services. It serves as a structural template for how ACMT operates as a specialty college and competes for share-of-wallet among physicians holding dual certifications.
• American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM): ACOEM is a peer specialty college serving occupational and environmental medicine physicians, with overlapping toxicology content (occupational exposures are a stated ACMT subspecialty). Comparable membership-based operating model and similar scale and member profile.
• Wilderness Medical Society (WMS): WMS is a similarly-sized medical subspecialty society offering membership, conferences, journals, and CME — analogous in operating model to ACMT, with overlapping toxicology-relevant content (envenomations, environmental exposures). Useful structural peer for revenue scale benchmarking.

Regional players

• European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists (EAPCCT): EAPCCT is the principal European clinical toxicology society, organizing the EAPCCT Congress and serving a parallel role to ACMT for toxicology practitioners in Europe. Comparable to ACMT in mission and offerings, but geographically distinct.

Emerging players

• American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP): AAAP is a peer professional society that, like ACMT, is expanding into addiction medicine content (PCSS-MAUD, SUD education). Both compete for CME dollars from clinicians treating substance use disorders and overlap in clinical training offerings.

Others

• American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM): ABEM administers the subspecialty certification examination in medical toxicology that ACMT's Board Review Course prepares candidates for. It is a strategic partner/adjacent ecosystem participant rather than a competitor, but its certification standards shape ACMT's educational offerings.
