Abstract
Rapidly identifying and appropriately reacting to potentially hazardous environmental exposures could result in the mitigation of adverse health effects, accurate documentation of the exposures leading to reliable assessments of the risks associated with the exposures, and records of those actually exposed and the extent and duration of their exposures. As a panel, we addressed the questions of who should be educated, why they should be educated, what their education should consist of, and when the educational activities should occur. Our panel concluded that within the Department of Defense global community, education on potentially hazardous environmental exposures must start with and be grounded in the military Preventive Medicine (PM) professional community. Members of the military PM professional community must develop the skills needed to educate military non-PM medical and non-medical leaders, and they must actively assume their roles as educators. Panel 5 participants identified computer-based education as a means of disseminating teaching materials on environmental risks among military members as they move through the different phases of their careers.
