SPOTLIGHT ON
FARMWORKER HEALTH/MIGRANT STREAM FORUMS |
|
CDC's Office of Minority Health (OMH) and the Health
Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
collaborate with the National Center for Farmworker Health, Inc.
on
three annual Farmworker Stream Forums. |
|
The Stream Forums represent a combined
national effort to provide opportunities for migrant health providers
and others who work with the population to enhance skills, create
networking and collaboration opportunities, and to identify additional
resources, program models and effective training for the more
efficient provision of health care services to farmworkers. |
|
The Farmworker Stream Forum focuses on
issues and training techniques geared to assist colleagues in
improving the health and well being of migrant and seasonal
farmworkers and their families. |
|
The forum provides one of the largest
national venues for networking with professionals spanning the migrant
health field. In addition, participants are encouraged to share new
ideas and innovative strategies while gaining farmworker-specific
continuing education accreditation in the following disciplines:
Medical, Dental, Nursing, Health Education, and Social Work. |
