On the heels of the recent nationwide E.coli outbreak that caused Americans across more than a dozen states to become ill and led to one death, the American Medical Association (AMA), in collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), announced new online continuing medical education (CME) videos aimed at helping physicians combat the spread of foodborne illness. The new videos provide physicians with the information and resources they need to diagnose, treat, and report foodborne illnesses. The videos also educate patients on preventing foodborne illness.

The public is invited to hear internationally renowned neuroscientist, neurosurgeon, author, and inspirational Latin-American figure Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa, MD, at noon on March 6 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
