TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Agricultural medicine core course: building capacity for health and safety professionals JO - Journal of agromedicine A1 - Fisher, Eileen L. A1 - Donham, Kelley J. SP - 106 EP - 116 VL - 16 IS - 2 N2 - In 1987 the University of Iowa began training health care professionals to care for farmers' occupational health needs. The training enables health professionals from various disciplines to function in the anticipation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of occupational illnesses and injuries in the farm community. A grant from National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) entitled "Building Capacity for Health and Safety Professionals" allowed for the expansion of this training to other states. This paper describes the challenges, successes, and lessons learned from dissemination of Agricultural Medicine Core Course.
