Abstract

Welcome to Public Health Moment from the University of Minnesota.

That’s according to health policy researcher Michelle Casey of the University of Minnesota. <clip: “When we looked at the kinds of certification…training at working as a team.”> Given national shortages of emergency department physicians, Casey says rural hospitals should focus on continuing education for existing providers—such as family physicians and nurse practitioners. <clip: “We concluded that efforts to improve the quality of…evidence-based emergency department care.”> Casey adds that most rural hospitals either provide or make arrangements for their staff to receive continuing education. With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.
