New environmental medicine education resources were released in May by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
ATSDR is a federal public health agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services providing health information to prevent harmful exposures and diseases related to toxic substances. In May they launched their Environmental Health and Medicine Education training portal.
The new portal provides updated and redesigned educational materials for health professionals as well as products for the general public - specifically information on: • Community Presentations, • Case Studies in Environmental Medicine, • Grand Rounds in Environmental Medicine, and • Patient Education Instruction Sheets
For more information please contact Micheal Hatcher from ATSDR Michael.Hatcher@cdc.hhs.gov
