Residency: University of Arizona College of Medicine, Family Practice, Tucson, AZ. Fellowship: University of Colorado/Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center, Medical Toxicology, Denver CO Interests: My research interests include snake envenomation and the epidemiology of poisoning. My career is a testament to what happens when you have trouble saying “no” and a short attention span. I’m the Medical Director of the New Mexico Poison and Drug Information Center and a Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine. I have the best job in the Department; a terrific mix of clinical, academic, educational and administrative responsibilities. Shhh…don’t tell anybody. I've lived and worked in many places throughout the course of my education, training and practice, but I developed a deep affinity for the Southwest through my experiences working in a health clinic in Southern California, over a 20-plus year career in emergency medicine in Tucson, and now here in New Mexico. I love the topography, the mix of cultures and, of course, the weather. I bicycle when it’s clement and ski when it isn’t. Some boring stuff: I received my B.S. degree with Honors and with Distinction from Cornell University and my medical degree from the University Of Cincinnati College Of Medicine. I practiced Emergency Medicine and served on the faculty of the University of Arizona Emergency Medicine Residency program. I’m certified in Emergency Medicine by the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM). I completed a Fellowship in Medical Toxicology at the University of Colorado/Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center and am certified in Medical Toxicology by the toxicology sub-board of ABEM. Following my Fellowship, I served on the staff of the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center in Tucson, and then as the medical director of the Nebraska Regional Poison Center in Omaha for six years, before coming to New Mexico in July, 2007. My wife, Sandy Mishkin, is a nurse specializing in geropsych care. We have one child, Sara, who’ll be starting medical school in the fall of 2008.
