Sanatorium Hill
From 1910-1972, Arkansas State law mandated that victims of tuberculosis (TB) be isolated in a sanatorium located in Booneville, Arkansas. Some patients returned home, free of their symptoms. Others died there, either of the disease or of the gruesome operations prescribed by the doctors. This course features Sanatorium Hill, a documentary that tells the story of patients who survived the morbid treatments, recovered from the disease of TB, but were unable to forget the pain, suffering and despair.
This course meets the scheduled Arkansas history requirement as set forth in the Rules Governing Professional Development and required by ACA 6-17-703.

Agri Arkansas - Introduction
This course is based on the AETN series Agri Arkansas. The program celebrates agriculture in Arkansas and features experts, innovators, and challenges all present in the state's largest industry. The show is designed to not only inform viewers about agriculture in Arkansas, but to also initiate conversations on complex agricultural issues.
Arkansas’s agricultural effects on the state’s economy are discussed in this introductory segment. An overview of the major crops grown in each region of the state is reviewed as well. The future of agriculture in Arkansas is explored afterward and includes an examination of camelina, a relatively new crop for Arkansas farmers that is used in biodiesel.
