Occupational Medicine?

[dr aaron]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone out there could give me information regarding the field of occupational medicine....particularly which programs across the country have a residency for this specialty. i searched the acgme website and could not find any programs--any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks

ACGME is not the place for residency program listings; FREIDA, which is on the AMA site, is.

There are 29 Occupational Medicine residency programs:http://www.ama-assn.org/vapp/freida/srch/

Occ Med is an easy and nicely remunerated specialty. A hidden gem IMHO...

Continue to post about it so we can get a preventative medicine forum.

I totally agree. Probably the easiest residency of ANY specialty.

We recently had a lecture by an Occupational medicine guy, he lamented the low exposure that medical students get to the field.

Most people have no idea what occupational medicine is. The few that have heard of it think it begins and ends with pneumoconiosis.

Just not enough time to let people know about what all the specialties do, especially small ones. Heck, many people don't even know that much about PM&R.
