Introduction to Environmental Medicine

The UA’s Center for Integrative Medicine is offering the free six-credit course, Introduction to Environmental Medicine, to healthcare professionals. The online, interactive course is designed to help clinicians across medical specialties organize a treatment-approach to environmental toxins in air, land, and water, teaching them how to translate the research into effective prevention and educational tools for their patients. From lead poisoning to the safety of household cleaning products, cosmetics, and pesticides, this course explores the impact of environmental factors on the health of individuals and populations and provides background on several important emerging areas of research in environmental medicine that have immediate clinical relevancy.
