Environmental Medicine Education for Health Professionals

Introduction

ATSDR’s environmental medicine education products for health professionals have been revised and refreshed to better meet needs for continuing education in a demanding professional climate. All of these products include current environmental medicine content drawn from peer-reviewed medical literature. In addition, these education products provide the latest information on evidence-based diagnosis and treatment. Each product offers free, accredited continuing education and is available and downloadable online.




Case Studies in Environmental Medicine

ATSDR Case Studies in Environmental Medicine (CSEM) are self-instructional, continuing-education primers designed to increase primary care providers’ knowledge of hazardous substances and aid in the evaluation of patients potentially exposed to hazardous substances. Each CSEM comes with additional companion products such as Grand Rounds in Environmental Medicine and Patient Education and Care Instruction Sheets.
