- Under The National
Strategies for Health Care Providers Pesticide Initiative
(1998),
The Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center (PNASH) was awarded one of two five-year cooperative
agreements with the EPA to incorporate recognition and management of pesticide poisonings into the education of future
health care providers. The second cooperative agreement was awarded to the
Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN) for a project entitled, Saving Lives by Changing Practice: Pesticide Related Health
Conditions Prevention Change Concept.
- UW Investigators and faculty and student champions from Northwestern Washington are pursuing
significant institutional change through education and the development of new resources and tools for pesticide-related
health conditions training. A searchable online database is being built to provide materials to educators nationwide. The
database will serve to connect NEETF competencies to 'specialty competencies' by way of pre-defined insertion points.
PNASH and the MCN are working concurrently to develop content.
- The goal of this project is the integration of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pesticide poisonings content into pre-med, nursing, mid-level practitioner (PA and NP) and physician training through the collaborative efforts of faculty and students from Heritage University, Seattle Pacific University, MEDEX Northwest, the UW schools of Nursing and Medicine, and WSU, Yakima.
- Pesticide content will be tested, the integration process qualitatively characterized, and the results disseminated to educational institutions around the nation.
