Abstract:
:The author addresses some aspects of specialist training of occupational medicine physicians in the United States of America, and discusses detailed requirements of the American Board of Preventive Medicine that have to be satisfied by a physician, specialising in this field in order to obtain the title of a specialist in occupational and environmental medicine. The role of Schools of Public Health in the process of specialist training, and some new opportunities and organisational solutions offered by these Schools are presented. A residency training programme offered by an accredited School of Public Health, University of Michigan is used as an example. The number of specialised occupational medicine physicians, practising in the USA is given. The data indicate that during the last ten years the number of physicians who enter into the training process in this field continued to show an upward tendency. Some opinions trying to explain the reason for a continuous lack of occupational medicine specialists in the United States are also presented.
