As a primary care physician who sees patients with health problems that relate to the environment and who has great difficulty making a connection between the clinical condition and the environment, I find this entry fascinating. It comes, naturally, from NYU where there is a classic text in environmental health: STAYING HEALTHY IN A RISKY ENVIRONMENT. THE NEW YORK UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER FAMILY GUIDE. HOW TO IDENTIFY, PREVENT OR MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS TO YOUR HEALTH by Arthur C. Upton, MD and Eden Graber. It is a commentary on our level of unawareness of the importance of the issue that Dr. Jeremijenko raises, that this text is being purged from libraries even though it is not really out of date.
Dr. Jeremijenko notes that medical students from the U. of Calgary hope to do rotations at her clinic. Again, as a MD, I think that there is a major need to train medical students and those that directly assist primary care physicians in the details of Environmental Health that Dr. Jeremijenko strives to elucidate with a huge dose of innovation and creativity.
I believe there should be a way for medical students across the world to work with Dr. Jeremijenko and to assist in producing the medical portions of the Desk References she is writing.
