Nursing students: do you have an interest in the intersections between the environment and our health? Join the Mid-Atlantic Center for Children’s Health and the Environment (MACCHE) in their upcoming webinar, Childhood Cancer and the Environment: Activating Clinicians for Prevention.
Date/Time: Wed, June 24, 12pm EST
Presenters:
- Nikki Wood, DO – board-certified pediatric hematologist/oncologist and clinical informaticist at Children’s Mercy Kansas City and an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Missouri–Kansas City
- Mark Miller, MD, MPH – Associate Clinical Professor at the UCSF, former Director of the California EPA Children’s Environmental Health Center, and Director Emeritus of the Western States Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit
Event Description: The incidence of childhood cancer has been increasing in the US for decades. There is accumulating evidence that certain environmental exposures are associated with either increased risk or poorer outcomes, while others may have protective effects. This webinar will review the epidemiologic evidence and discuss how these findings can be integrated into clinical practice.
