According to a recent survey by the American Lung Association to understand healthcare professionals’ (HCP) attitudes, knowledge, and practices around indoor air pollutants and their lung health impact respondents indicate they need to know more about specific hazards to provide better patient care. This webinar is intended to improve knowledge, skills, and abilities, and reduce gaps in clinical competencies among primary care, general practitioners, community health, and occupational and environmental health professionals in those areas. We have an expert panel to provide insights to improve clinical care and prevention for children and adults regarding their lung health.
Participants will leave with practical ways to recognize common lung health hazards, discuss prevention strategies, and connect people with trusted resources for healthier homes, schools, workplaces,
and neighborhoods.
- Clinical care guidance and taking patient histories, and much more.
Setting the stage for pulmonary hazards and lung health in clinical practice - Information and resources about healthy homes, schools, workplaces, and communities
- Environmental hazards including emissions and climate
- Behavioral elements like smoking and steps to take to making living and working spaces healthier
This webinar is co-hosted by the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC), the American Lung Association (ALA), and leaders from the Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Units (PEHSU). Join us! Both CME and CNE will be offered.
