The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy has issued guidelines for accommodations of electromagnetic sensitivity (AKA microwave illness or electromagnetic hypersensitivity). Importantly, the Department lists the EMF Medical Conference 2021 as a resource. The EMF 2021 Medical Conference features physicians and scientists working to diagnose and treat people injured by electromagnetic radiation, as well as prevent injury from occurring. Physicians and health professionals can access the online course for continuing education credits.
Environmental Health scientists and policy experts were honored to present at the conference. (See EMF Medical Conference 2021 Schedule)
