EHS520 - Environmentally Acquired Illnesses
Course Description
Illnesses related to environmental exposures are on the rise, but are frequently misdiagnosed due to a lack of understanding of the complexities of multiple hazard exposures and variable health outcomes. This course provides an overview of common and emerging Environmentally Acquired Illnesses (EAIs) and explores the multitude of hazards, conditions, and predisposing factors related to human disease. Students will gain foundational knowledge of EAIs and tools for environmental monitoring and mitigation, as well as patient diagnosis and treatment options. In addition, they will critique current research design, identify gaps in the current model of environmental exposure assessment, and gain knowledge in a systems approach to understanding, evaluating, and communicating the impact and control of EAIs relative to human health.
