HMC Occupational Medicine

Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) is primarily an outpatient discipline, combining the practice of Internal Medicine with principles of Public Health. OEM includes a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration, involving the related disciplines of epidemiology, industrial hygiene and toxicology. The OEM Program works closely with Washington State agencies and corporations (e.g., Washington State Poison Control Center, the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and the Boeing Company) to provide opportunities to learn about the role of physicians working in the field of OEM.

The rotation includes up to 4-5 OEM clinics per week and participation in OEM clinic conference and Current Issues seminar series on Thursday afternoons. In addition, residents may participate in other Program activities, including worksite investigations with OEM physicians and industrial hygienists, occupational health surveillance programs, and development of didactic sessions, all supplemented by independent readings.

Prior to your first clinic session, please review Case Studies in Environmental Medicine: Taking an Exposure History. Two versions of the Taking an Exposure History CSEM are available:

• The downloadable PDF version provides content in an electronic, printable format.
• The online version at http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/exphistory/ehindex.html offers interactive exercises and prescriptive feedback to the user;

Residents should contact Jordan Firestone, MD, PhD, MPH to discuss this rotation.
