DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a Renewal application for funding of an existing Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) Residency at the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) in existence since 1999. The program helps address the national shortage of OM physicians, their shortage in underserved areas, and the shortage of under-represented minority OM physicians. This shortage, addressed by the Institute of Medicine two decades ago, persists. We plan to continue this highly successful Competency Based Residency Training Program, directed primarily at experienced physicians making a mid-career change to full-time OEM practice, to prepare highly trained OM specialists, allowing them eligibility for the American Board of Preventive Medicine Certification Examination in Occupational Medicine (ABPM-OM). We intend to graduate one NIOSH supported resident each year from this 2-year training program, for a total of five NIOSH supported residents over the 5-year grant period. Successful applicants meet requirements of at least one (and usually more) ACGME-accredited clinical PGY-1 year, have started or completed the 5 core courses required by the ACGME, have completed or are actively enrolled in an MPH or masters level degree, and are in full-time OM practice at an approved clinical training site (CTS). Residents will complete at least 4 months of clinical training each year at their CTS. Concurrent with clinical work, residents undertake five subject-area rotations (SARs), each 2 months in length during the first year, and 6 SARs, each 1-month in length during the second year. A second year project that will culminate in a presentation at a local or national meeting and/or production of a manuscript is also a second year requirement. Competencies to be achieved are based on ACGME, ACOEM and select OEM competencies. Attainment of OEM Milestones will be required for graduation. Residents also undertake 8 graduate level courses related to OEM and PM over the 2-year period. The SARs, conducted at UPENN, are monthly 3-day intensive didactic training sessions. CTS and SAR directors are diplomats of the ABPM and national experts in the area they teach. The UPENN OEM Residency Program has successfully achieved objectives of training OEM physicians who are experts in the field, preparing them to carry out the purposes of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as well as increasing the number of OEM physicians and underrepresented physicians. Graduates, 99 to date, have comprised 7% of new ABPM-OM diplomats since 2005 - more than any other US civilian program over this period, and score above means in the ABPM-OM Examination. Employed in industry, government, and academic centers, as well as in cities and rural areas, they report that the program met their needs and substantially increased their knowledge of OM. Most work in areas underserved by residency trained OEM physicians and are well-prepared to help conserve and restore the health of the workforce, promote worker health, productivity and well-being and recognize, control and prevent of occupational hazards.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是宾夕法尼亚大学（UPENN）自1999年以来存在的现有职业和环境医学（OEM）住院医师的续签申请。该项目有助于解决全国OM医生短缺、服务不足地区OM医生短缺以及少数族裔OM医生不足的问题。20年前，美国医学研究所（Institute of Medicine）解决了这一短缺问题，但这种短缺仍然存在。我们计划继续这个非常成功的基于能力的住院医师培训项目，主要针对有经验的医生，他们在职业生涯中期转向全职OEM实践，培养训练有素的OM专家，使他们有资格参加美国预防医学委员会职业医学认证考试（ABPM-OM）。我们计划每年从这个为期2年的培训项目中毕业一名NIOSH支持的住院医生，在5年的资助期内总共有5名NIOSH支持的住院医生。成功的申请者满足至少一个（通常更多）ACGME认可的临床PGY-1年的要求，已经开始或完成了ACGME要求的5门核心课程，已经完成或正在积极注册MPH或硕士学位，并且在经批准的临床培训地点（CTS）进行全日制OM实践。住院医师每年将在CTS完成至少4个月的临床培训。在临床工作的同时，住院医生要进行5次学科区域轮转（sar），第一年每次2个月，第二年进行6次轮转，每次1个月。第二年的项目，最终将在当地或国家会议和/或制作中进行演示
