Occupational & Environmental Medicine Symposium
Activity Details
Activity Name: Occupational & Environmental Medicine Symposium
Needs Assessment: This activity is designed to provide an interactive forum for members to discuss the latest research and developments in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

The course will improve physician and other allied health care provider competence in the prevention, diagnosis and evaluation of work-induced or exacerbated injuries and illnesses. This course is valuable for occupational medicine practitioners, primary care physicians who may see patients with work related disorders, occupational health nurses and anyone involved with the worker compensation system. Course participant evaluations and our community physician annual needs assessment survey have identified the need for up-to-date information.

The conference will provide practitioners with evidence based methods and strategies to assist them in providing better treatment options for their patients. Faculty presenting and interacting with participants at this activity have been selected on the basis of their comprehensive clinical experience and academic excellence.
