Nieuwsbrief

Environmental health is based on the premise that what we eat or are exposed to in our environment directly affects our health. It examines the impact of air pollutants, pesticides, heavy metals, toxicants, and other environmental factors on the health of individuals and populations. Designed for medical and nursing personnel, this Introduction to Integrative Environmental Health course primarily focuses on the broader patterns of disease caused by environmental toxicants. Learn about major chemicals affecting our health – as we break down impacts through our environment: Air, Land, and Water. Sharing the latest research linking chronic disease and environmental toxicants, students see how to support a patient’s whole health. The course is not an exhaustive review of individual toxicants but focuses on the toxicants of greatest concern and prevalence. Important resources are shared throughout. Once you’ve completed this Introduction course, enroll in The Integrative Environmental Health: Advanced Approaches. This course will build upon the Introduction course by exploring a more in-depth clinical approach – what populations are most at risk, how to take an environmental health patient history, emerging research, and case-based learning – to reinforce clinical relevance.
