Toxicology in Iran

The history of toxicology in Iran dates backs to the establishment of its Pharmacy and Medicine schools. Toxicology itself was one of the main courses in the Pharmacy curriculum while students of Medicine were familiar with toxicology during the course of Legal Medicine. The Faculties of Pharmacy and Medicine in University of Tehran were established nearly 90 years ago in 1920. When the Iran Legal Medicine was established in Tehran, new laboratories for the diagnosis of poisons in biological fluids were developed. Clinical toxicology in Iran was started by the efforts of several specialist physicians in the fields of toxicology, anesthesiology, and pediatrics in the Loghman-Hakim Hospital of Tehran, ImamReza Hospital of Mashhad, and later in Isfahan and other cities. Clinical toxicology is one of the most important components of a medical practitioners work in Iran. Because of climate variation in Iran, the main cause of hospitalization due to poisoning is different in parts of Iran. Iranian Society of Toxicology (IranTox) was established in 1990 by a group of pioneer Iranian toxicologists. IranTox became the member of International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX) in 2001 and joined ASIATOX in 2011. IranTox is actively involved in various activities including organization of national and International Congress, advancement of toxicology and poisonings, study of health impacts of poisons and chemicals and providing advice to the authorities at the national and international levels. Iranian Journal of Toxicology is the official journal of the society which was launched in 2008, and is published quarterly. The courses of basic and clinical toxicology in main Universities and the national board of toxicology were founded and run by the IranTox members. The program of PhD in toxicology was founded in 1989 and fellowship in clinical toxicology in 2008. Numbers of diplomats since the establishment of the courses are over 100 and frequency of exams is every year. There are about 150 certified toxicologists in academia and industries.
