I think occ med has a lot of opportunities.
Most of the docs out there doing Occupational medicine clinics are not board certified in occ med. Rather, they are PCPs moonlighting to support their practice or they are GPs with some training in workers comp and functional evals.
The board certified occ med docs I don't don't usually work at those clinics. They work for corporation as medical review officers or chief medical officers. Their main jobs are doing chart reviews and advice the company on each particular case.
Some can do that for fedral government. One doctor told me you can work at home, the feds will mail you a chart, then you review it and send it back. A check will come out in the mail for you. Pretty nice if you ask me.
If you go the corporate route, there maybe limitation in patient contact.....
