The Institute of Medicine and the Pew Health Profession Commission have advocated that physicians broaden their participation in the environmental aspects of medical care. Accordingly, both organizations recommend training of future Primary care physicians for greater competencies and appreciation of this area of medicine. The extent to which family practice educators are receptive to incorporating this topic into the residency curriculum is not known. A national survey of directors of family practice programs was conducted to assess their attitudes about environmental health education in family practice residency training. The ultimate goal of this study was to provide information that will guide the development of an environmental health curriculum for family practice residency programs. This reference consists of one videotape entitled Environmental Risk Assessing Information.
