N.C. Agromedicine Institute Online Series
The North Carolina Agromedicine Institute series of online courses provides opportunities for healthcare professionals to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the unique safety and health needs of farmers, farmworkers, fishermen, and foresters. Learners may access training from their office, clinic, or home 24 hours a day, seven days a week. N.C. Agromedicine Institute, in partnership with agricultural safety and health experts across the United States, has developed these programs.
The Southeast Center for Agricultural Health and Injury Prevention at the University of Kentucky made the site possible with funds from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. Whenever possible, programs draw from actual (deidentified) cases reviewed by the Institute to provide relevant, practice-based examples that illustrate particular situations, problems, or concerns that may arise in the professional environment. The Institute has partnered with Piedmont AHEC to offer these courses, which are modeled on the not-for-profit regional AHEC programs and specialize in producing high-quality, certified, continuing education for health professionals.
