The purpose of the OEM Program is to provide training in occupational and environmental medicine to the residents in the Department of Family Medicine. Residents are exposed to the basic concepts of OEM during a structured one-month rotation requiring self-study using computer assisted instructional modules and other sources of information, site visits with OEM specialists in the community, case consultation review with Division faculty, and preparation and presentation of an OEM topic or case.

1. perform a basic OEM history and recognize the need for more detailed occupational information,
2. access the Internet for basic OEM information,
3. successfully complete (70% correct) posttests on all of the computer assisted instructional modules,
4. successfully complete (70% correct) challenge questions in selected ATSDR case studies, and
5. more readily recognize OEM illness, injury, and concerns in primary care patients.
