OEM Rotation Course
Course objective
In 1988, the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine
established the OEM Rotation Course. The objective of the course is
to reflect the experiences of the family physician in practical life.
The course will enhance the ability of primary care residents to recognize,
diagnose, manage, and prevent those disorders commonly encountered
in the primary care setting which arise from or are aggravated by
the workplace or environmental exposure.
In addition, the rotation aims to familiarize residents with public
health issues and special legal and governmental influences in occupational
health and safety.
Syllabus
The syllabus of the OEM Rotation Course is as follows:
1. Four half-day occupational clinics
2. Four half-day industrial/environmental site visits
3. Sixteen seminars (Occupational lectures relevant to family practice).
4. Presentation of review article (One per resident)
5. Assigned reading
Course time
The course is held four times per year (February, May, August and
November), and the schedule consists of three full days (Monday, Wednesday,
and Thursday) per week for four consecutive weeks
Attendees
The course welcomes not only the residents in Family Practice Residency
Programs but also residents of any other program. In addition, medical
students and interested physicians are invited to take the OEM course.
