The Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Units (PEHSU) from federal regions 1, 2, 4, 6 and the Boston Children's Health Physicians (BCHP) are recruiting pediatric practitioners to join a 6-session learning collaborative aimed at educating and supporting physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and public health professionals on the issues surrounding Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and safe drinking water.
This topic is especially relevant as more is understood about the sources of PFAS as well as their health effects. Patients are more concerned than ever about their exposure and health risks.
Practices will engage in the ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) modelTM, a tele-mentoring platform that leverages video conference technology to connect subject matter experts with primary care providers in local communities, fostering an “all teach, all learn” approach.
This ECHO will meet for 6 sessions and each one will last one-hour. The first session of this ECHO will occur on Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at 1 pm ET / 11 am MT. CME, CEU, and MOC2 credit pending.
More detailed information can be found on the attached flyer and at the registration link below.
