| Over the last year the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics, the Society for Occupational Safety and Health, NIEHS, Hunter College CUNY, Johns Hopkins Bloomburg School of Public Health, UMDNJ-School of Public Health, and the New York City Department of Health have conducted a series of mold-related workshops and a national conference to provide better guidance in the areas of improving practice in medical diagnosis and the management of mold-related cases, protecting the health and safety of mold remediation workers, and in identifying basic and clinical research needs. Many and diverse government, labor, public and private sector experts actively participated in this multidisciplinary, structured and goal-oriented process. This session is designed to report on the results of this collaborative undertaking. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session participants will be able to: 1) Describe the difficulties in diagnosis and case management of mold-related illness; 2) Identify key components for an effective mold-related worker-training program; 3) Describe research needs for basic understanding of mold-related toxicity. | |||
