Best Practices for Clinical Care in the World Trade Center Health Program – Webinar Series
The World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program presents a free webinar series to highlight best practices in the diagnosis and treatment of 9/11-related conditions. This is an effort to promote and maintain high quality medical care within the Program.
Each webinar in this “Best Practices for Clinical Care” series is based on a peer-reviewed paper that was published in the Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health.
The webinars will help you:
- Identify the epidemiologic evidence that supports an association between September 11 exposures and various medical conditions.
- Describe how to diagnose patients with conditions associated with exposure to the September 11 terrorist attacks and its aftermath.
- Identify where World Trade Center (WTC) Health Program diagnostic and treatment coverage information can be found.
- Describe two or more ways that this educational activity will improve the attendee’s contribution as a team member.
Webinar presenters include clinicians affiliated with the WTC Health Program, including those employed either by the WTC Health Program Clinical Centers of Excellence (CCEs), the WTC Health Registry of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
The views expressed in these Best Practices webinars do not necessarily reflect the official policies or views of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), or NIOSH; nor does the mention of trade names, commercial practices, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
