Diagnosis and Management of Foodborne Illness:
A Primer for Health Care Professionals
Recognizing a need to update health care providers on the critical role they play in food safety, CDC collaborated with the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Nurses Association, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) to create "Diagnosis and Management of Foodborne Illnesses: A Primer for Physicians and other Health Care Professionals". The Primer offers continuing education for nurses, physicians, and health educators and also provides practical and concise information on the diagnosis, treatment and reporting of foodborne illnesses. Providers can obtain continuing education through MMWR or can access the Primer at one of the sites listed below.
