OPAM Workshop: Basic Course in Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Part II

AOA Payflow Pro

OVERVIEW:

AOCOPM sponsors a Basic Course in Occupational and Environmental Medicine designed to provide a basic understanding and expertise in the areas of occupational and environmental medicine while preparing participants to take a written examination qualifying for an AOA-approved Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ). For those participants who do not hold a primary AOA board certification, a certificate of course completion is offered. Thus, our primary audience is AOA-certified physicians working to obtain the CAQ, but the course also offers value to other MDs, DOs, PAs, and Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioners.

The course is presented in three (3) parts, which do not need to be taken in sequence. For the convenience of the faculty and participants, one part is normally provided at one or both of the two conferences presented by the AOCOPM each year (almost always at the Midyear in March or April, and sometimes offered at the annual conference held in conjunction with OMED in September or October). Each part is a full day didactic program and requires a separate registration with the AOCOPM.


OBJECTIVES:

  • Describe the unique aspects of providing care to specific populations of workers
  • Develop worker safety and preventive medicine programs
  • List the various workplace hazards and risks and how they impact exposed workers
  • Explain the various rules and laws which regulate health, welfare and safety of workers
