Dear Friends

The Ontario Ministry of Health has announced that it will fund 2 new fellowships in Environmental Health at the University of Toronto.

The funding will support education on environmentally linked  illness like environmental sensitivities, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and other chronic, complex disorders.

"They will allow family medicine graduates to complete an extra year of focused training in environmental health, and will help primary care providers like family doctors offer the right care to assess, diagnose and treat environmentally-linked health issues."
