Greater Boston PSR is pleased to offer this one-hour online CME course on Monday, October 4th from 12:00-1:00pm ET. The event is co-sponsored by Massachusetts Medical Society's (MMS) Committees on Environmental and Occupational Health and Global Health.
Dr. Jennifer Leaning from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will moderate our panel, including Drs. Tova Fuller, psychiatrist from UCSF; Matt Bivens, emergency physician from the BIDMC; and Joe Hodgkin, internist at MGH. They will cover the history of physician involvement in this issue — from 1962, when a small group of doctors in Massachusetts first published a wake up call about the dangers of nuclear weapons in the New England Journal of Medicine — to the present, when the public health risks of nuclear weapons from development to deployment make the need for the voices of health professional advocacy on this issue more urgent than ever.
