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）：这是自1999年以来在宾夕法尼亚大学（UPENN）现有的职业和环境医学（OEM）居住资助的更新申请。该计划有助于解决OM医生的全国短缺，他们在服务不足的地区短缺，以及代表性不足的少数民族OM医生短缺。20年前由医学研究所解决的这种短缺仍然存在。我们计划继续这一非常成功的基于能力的住院医师培训计划，主要针对经验丰富的医生，他们在职业生涯中期转向全职OEM实践，以准备训练有素的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）。我们打算每年从这个为期2年的培训计划中毕业一名NIOSH支持的居民，在5年的资助期内，总共有5名NIOSH支持的居民。成功的申请人满足至少一个（通常更多）ACGME认证的临床PGY-1年的要求，已经开始或完成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，并在批准的临床培训地点（CTS）全职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，住院医师进行五次主题区域轮换（SAR），第一年每次2个月，第二年每次1个月。第二年的项目，将最终在当地或国家会议和/或生产的介绍 这也是第二年的要求。要达到的能力是基于ACGME，ACOEM和选择OEM能力。OEM Military的实现将需要毕业。在2年的时间里，居民还参加了8个与OEM和PM相关的研究生课程。在宾夕法尼亚大学进行的SAR是每月为期3天的强化教学培训课程。CTS和SAR主任是ABPM的外交官和他们所教领域的国家专家。UPENN OEM居留计划成功地实现了培训OEM医生的目标，他们是该领域的专家，为他们开展1970年职业安全与健康法的目的做好准备，以及增加OEM医生和代表性不足的医生的数量。自2005年以来，99名毕业生占ABPM-OM新外交官的7%-超过同期任何其他美国民用计划，并在ABPM-OM考试中得分高于平均水平。他们受雇于工业、政府和学术中心，以及城市和农村地区，他们报告说，该计划满足了他们的需求，大大增加了他们对OM的了解。大多数工作在居住培训OEM医生服务不足的地区，并做好准备帮助保护和恢复劳动力的健康，促进工人健康，生产力和福祉，并识别，控制和预防职业危害。
