Occupational Medicine Physician
Save
Occupational Medicine Physicians are primarily responsible for the health and well-being of workers and employees. They oversee health and safety programs in the workplace, maintain staff health records, conduct pre-employment medical examinations, provide health and injury treatment, and consult with other medical professionals.
Educational Requirements
To become an Occupational Medicine Physician, one must first earn a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, followed by a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree from an accredited medical school. After graduating from medical school, doctors must complete a residency program in occupational medicine, which typically takes three years to complete. Some doctors may also choose to pursue a fellowship in a specialized area of occupational medicine, such as environmental or public health.
