Health Professionals Outreach
Agromedicine is a partnership of medical and agricultural professionals
promoting the health and safety of farm families, agricultural workers, and
consumers of agricultural products. The Maryland Agromedicine Program extends
the agromedicine approach to include non-agricultural populations exposed to
environmental contaminants. The Maryland Agromedicine Program currently focuses
on pesticides and offers workshops and educational materials for health care
professionals. The Maryland Agromedicine Program is coordinated through the
Pesticide Education and Assessment Program based at the University of Maryland,
College Park. Collaborators include county and regional Extension educators,
campus-based Extension specialists, medical and nursing professionals, the
Maryland Poison Center, the Maryland-Delaware Area Health Education Center
(AHEC), and the Maryland Department of Agriculture.
Maryland Agromedicine Program activities accessible through this web site
include seminars, publications, and links to resources for health care
providers.
