Continuous medical education (CME): Do we need CME for paediatric environmental medicine in Europe?
چکیده انگلیسی
The knowledge about the influence of environmental hazards on children's health is increasing enormously. European Ministers of Health and Environment, like many other stakeholders, identified the environmental hazards in Europe for the health of children as so serious, that they called for a “Children's Environment and Health Action Plan for Europe (CEHAPE)” approved in June 2004. The knowledge of paediatricians and other health care providers on children's health and environment in Europe is insufficient, due to the lack of training in environmental medicine for medical students, clinical trainees and postgraduates. Only continuous medical education in environmental medicine can help to fill this gap of knowledge and is thereby urgently needed. The World Health Organization developed a training package for health care providers for children's health and environment, containing excellent material for paediatric training events. The International Network on Children's Health, Environment and Safety (INCHES) developed additional training material for paediatricians within the Children's Health, Environment and Safety Training (CHEST) project. The German Network Children's Health and Environment offers training for paediatric doctors' assistants in primary prevention. To improve knowledge about children's health and environment at all levels in paediatric settings, greater efforts of national institutions, paediatric associations and other institutions are necessary. It is time to strengthen existing structures and to introduce, where necessary, new structures for training in environmental medicine.
