The agencies will engage the food-safety expert and stakeholder communities to discuss this subject through a series of public workshops. The first workshop, which will be held March 30, 2010, in Washington, D.C., is called Measuring Progress on Food Safety: Current Status and Future Directions.

The purpose of the workshop is to discuss current and potential measurements for assessing progress in food safety and to provide workshop participants an opportunity to learn about metrics and to consider and suggest metrics for assessing the effects that policies and interventions have on foodborne illness. FDA and FSIS base decisions about policies and other interventions related to food safety, in part, on CDC's analyses of data on foodborne illness.

The workshop will focus on the current status and challenges involved in measuring foodborne illness and trends over time, including incidence and trends in the overall burden of foodborne illness and illnesses associated with specific foodborne pathogens and specific pathogens that affect specific foods. The workshop will include a discussion of other measures that are, or could be, used to measure food-safety progress that cannot be directly linked to health outcomes.

Experts at the symposium will present a description of this pathogen and of other methicillin-resistant Staphylococci, as well as offer a summary of their epidemiology and impact on humans and animals. The symposium is targeted to both human health professionals and animal health professionals. This "One Health, One Medicine" approach to studying these pathogens offers a broader understanding of the impact of the diseases in the human health setting, as well as veterinary setting.

The two featured keynote speakers are Scott Weese, DVM, DVSc, Dipl. ACVIM, who is recognized internationally for his work on MRSA in animals, and Paul Morley, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, an infectious diseases control expert. Weese will provide a worldwide MRSA update; Morley will describe handling MRSA cases to decrease the risk of diseases transmission in veterinary settings.

Registration for the symposium is available at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Office of Veterinary Continuing Education. Online registration requires establishing a log-in name and password. Cost for the full-day meeting is $60 ($35 for students). Registration can also be mailed or faxed.

A Brief Note from the President-Elect

Just a few weeks until our spring conference, March 17-19 at the BSU Student Union Building. We're excited to have Nelson Fabian, executive Director of NEHA, deliver our keynote address on Wednesday morning. We have concurrent sessions planned, which encompass onsite wasterwater, food safety and protection, children's environmental health issues, solid waste, environmental health research, and a general topics session sovering everything from mercury and fish adviories to the new lead rule, brownfields, and more! For those traveling in from outside the Boise area, we have once again reserved a block of rooms at the Safari Inn. The conference is a great way to pick up some CEUs towards your REHS credential--and to network with colleagues from around the state.  ]]> http://www.foodsafetynews.com/events.xml?FB_go=1&FB_url=http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2010/03/ieha-annual-education-conference/ http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2010/03/ieha-annual-education-conference/ Events Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:20:01 -0800 info@foodsafetynews.com (Food Safety News)
