People are increasingly concerned about potential environmental
health hazards and often ask their physicians questions such as:
"Is the tap water safe to drink?" "Is it safe to live near power
lines?" Unfortunately, physicians often lack the information and
training related to environmental health risks needed to answer
such questions. This book discusses six competency based learning
objectives for all medical school students, discusses the relevance
of environmental health to specific courses and clerkships, and
demonstrates how to integrate environmental health into the
curriculum through published case studies, some of which are
included in one of the book's three appendices. Also included is a
guide on where to obtain additional information for treatment,
referral, and follow-up for diseases with possible environmental
and/or occupational origins. Table of Contents Front Matter
