SRHD’s Environmental Resources Program would like to share this training and awareness opportunity:
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) recognizes the important role healthcare providers play within communities to raise awareness and to help mitigate or prevent ethylene oxide exposures. Because of this, we have developed resources to educate healthcare providers and help them recognize diseases caused by hazardous substances in the environment.
ATSDR is proud to introduce a new tool, The Clinician Brief: Ethylene Oxide, which is part of a series that aims to educate healthcare providers on hazardous environmental exposures. The brief and other tools are designed to increase providers’ capacity to assess patients with exposures and provide risk reduction counseling. The Clinician Brief is a hazard-specific reference document for healthcare professionals, available as a PDF for easy download. We will soon be releasing The Clinician Overview: Ethylene Oxide, which is an online training from which healthcare professionals can receive continuing education credits.
We hope you’ll take the opportunity to review The Clinician Brief and suite of tools and resources on the Environmental Health and Medicine Education website. We look forward to continued dialogue and collaboration to protect our nation’s health.
