Reproductive Environmental Health Conference

Web-based courses
The Center is involved in ongoing development of web-based courses pertaining to children’s and pregnant women’s environmental exposures and health issues for health care providers. The National PEHSU also offers continuing education opportunities at its online classroom. Participants can select from a wide range of topics including reproductive health, pesticides, and climate change.
Green Kids Doc blog
The Center’s blog introduces environmental medicine topics to parents, healthcare providers, medical students, and other interested members of the public. We cover environmental exposures at home, at school, at work, and in the outdoor environment. We look at how exposures occur (who, what, where?), what the resulting health effects might be, and what you can do to prevent exposures.
