| Children's environmental health issues are of particular concern in clinical practice. Health care providers need to be aware of current and relevant environmental health topics and also be able to effectively address patient concerns. Pediatricians, family medicine and OB/GYN practitioners can play an integral role in providing families with consistent environmental health messages related toward prevention and exposure history-taking skills. This session will address strategies to improve the linkage of the environment and health outcomes among health care providers and their patients, and outline current educational activities that can be utilized to improve the environmental and occupational knowledge base of health care providers | ||||
