Clinician Engagement Program

What is the Clinician Engagement Program?

The Clinician Engagement Program provides information to Michigan clinicians on a variety of environmental health subjects, such as environmental contaminants, climate and health, health data tracking and air quality to help improve patient health outcomes.

Public health detailers are public health professionals housed within the Clinician Engagement Program. They work directly with clinicians to increase access to evidence-based, interactive education for clinicians on environmental health topics that impact the health of their patients.

How can clinicians engage with the program?

Public health detailers offer one-on-one and small group detailing sessions with health care professionals. Detailing sessions are held either virtually or in-person at the clinician’s location to discuss patient-centered communication strategies when addressing environmental health concerns, share resources and best practices and help connect clinicians to other relevant programs within the Environmental Health Bureau. Detailers attend many health care professional conferences and tabling events around Michigan as an additional opportunity for engagement.

Additional learning opportunities are available via the online Learning Management System (LMS), including modules for clinicians on lead and PFAS.

If you or your practice are interested in a detailing session to help support your patients, please contact the public health detailers by e-mailing MDHHS-PHDetailing@michigan.gov.
