The Missouri Milk, Food, and Environmental Health Association is pleased to share the news that NEHA has found an inexpensive way to make much of the education that was presented at its annual conference available to you in the comfort of your home and/or office. Fifty (50) carefully selected conference sessions were professionally videotaped and converted to disk (complete with power-points and audience Q/A). After watching and listening to these disks, people have commented that” It is the next best thing to actually being there”- so complete is the coverage of the session. Plus, you can use these disks to obtain CEU’S and stay on top of the issues that are today challenging our profession. The complete set of disks makes for a wonderful in training resource for public health departments and environmental health programs. NEHA-CERT, the sponsor for this new program, has also announced that other projects are well on their way to production, such as the “Biology and Control of Insects and Rodents” Workshop to be released very soon, and a Study Program for the REHS Certification to be released in the second quarter of 2007. These special products are in line with NEHA’s mission -- to advance the environmental health and protection professional for the purpose of providing a healthful environment for all. In producing these special disks, NEHA was also looking for a way to preserve the shelf life of this rich education and provide it at a much-reduced price to the many practitioners who were unable to actually attend the conference itself. For more information about these programs and to see what NEHA-CERT is producing next, check out their website at www.nehacert.org
