As a provider accredited by the ACCME, ACOEM is responsible for ensuring our education is fair and balanced and that any clinical content presented supports safe, effective patient care. As such, ACOEM must include an original release date and a termination (expiration) date on products.  Content must either be reviewed once every three years or expire after three years, which is why courses have an expiration date. This date not only denotes when the course will no longer be available to new users but also includes the final date to claim AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. While there is a possibility that a course will be renewed for an additional three years – and a new expiration date posted – this will not be determined until a review is conducted.

A course that has already been purchased but exceeds the expiration date can still be completed and/or reviewed, but a learner may no longer be able to claim the AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ associated with the course.

Upon completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to:

• Outline the role of metal(loid) exposures in kidney disease etiology. Readers will be able to identify arsenic, lead, and mercury as potential contributors to acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in agricultural workers, advancing knowledge of environmental nephrotoxicants in occupational health.
• Differentiate occupational exposure profiles based on comparative data. This study enables readers to compare metal(loid) exposure patterns between agricultural workers with exposure levels in office workers, providing measurable insights into exposure disparities by occupation.
• Interpret exposure data from high-risk populations in northern Mexico by characterizing metal(loid) exposures in two distinct northern Mexico populations. Readers will gain the ability to contextualize environmental risk factors for CKD/AKI and apply this understanding to similar agricultural contexts globally.

This activity is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals who specialize in or have an interest in OEM. Advanced practitioners such as industrial hygienists, safety professionals and environmental health specialists will receive value from participating in the activity.
