Medical Toxicology | MyToxCert
MyToxCert is a new way for Medical Toxicology–certified physicians to stay certified.
Core elements of MyToxCert include:
- Topic-specific modules that incorporate relevant subjects in Medical Toxicology
- Open-book modules that can be completed anywhere, anytime
- Immediate feedback pass/fail results, correct answers, and rationales
- Content that keeps you informed about Knowledge Advancements in the specialty
How to prepare for your modules
As an open-book assessment, study requirements should be minimal, but we recommend reviewing the materials that go with the module you plan on taking before getting started. If you have questions, we have several FAQs, tutorials, and videos.

If Your Module Attempt is Unsuccessful
Do not delay taking modules! It’s in your best interest to take them as soon as possible, just in case you need to wait for a new version to become available.
Your MedTox Requirements
You can view your individual requirements by signing in to your MyABEM portal. In general, staying certified in MedTox requires:
- 4 MyToxCert modules
- Moving to a 5-year certification cycle (if you aren’t already)
- Payment of an annual fee. This is replacing your other activity fees.
- 1 Practice Improvement (PI) activity
- Compliance with ABEM’s Policy on Medical Licensure
- Agreeing to ABEM’s Code of Professionalism
Because of the rollout timeframe of MyToxCert and the transition from a 10-year to a 5-year certification cycle, you may have more than one option for completing your requirements.
