For 50 years, the Maryland Poison Center (MPC) has provided worried parents, families, and individuals with expert medical advice on treatment, prevention, and education. Housed at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy (UMSOP), MPC is certified by the American Association of Poison Control Centers as a regional poison center. Bruce Anderson, PharmD, DABAT, professor, Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, UMSOP, and executive director, MPC, and Angel Bivens, MBA, CSPI, assistant director, operations and public education, MPC, join “The UMB Pulse” to talk about what kinds of guidance the center provides to the public (0:16) and medical providers (3:04), celebrating 50 years (8:02), and social media challenge disasters (18:54), as well as to answer what’s really on our minds: Is Mr. Yuk still a thing? (15:12). Listener discretion is advised.
