DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will support two trainees per year in a three-year, competency-based, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited institutional program leading to completion of physician residency requirements in Occupational Medicine. Consistent with the mission of Meharry Medical College, the program aims to educate and serve those in need by identifying physicians-in-training with a commitment to practice in vulnerable working populations and a desire to serve through the prevention and treatment of occupational and environmental diseases. Physicians completing the program will be skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of occupational injury and disease; develop and administer occupational and environmental health programs for unions, industry, government and academic institutions, and be active in the development of scientific, legal, political and ethical questions of the field. The first year of the program includes clinical rotations in Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Psychiatry, and Neurology. This academic year leads to a Master of Science in Public Health degree from Meharry's School of Graduate Studies. Residents are required to complete a research thesis on a NIOSH priority area as part of this academic experience. The Occupational Medicine Residency program aims to have each resident present the results of the thesis at a national scientific meeting and to submit the work for consideration to be published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. The practicum year experience provides each resident with exposure to a variety of occupational medicine settings employing vulnerable populations, including low income military veterans, migrant farm workers, and African American and Latino workers in urban settings. There is a heavy emphasis on becoming competent in providing culturally appropriate health promotion services. The Meharry Medical College program is the only Occupational Medicine Residency program in Tennessee as well as the only such program offered by the nation's four Historically Black medical schools. Partly because of Meharry's status as one of the major producers of minority physicians, the Meharry Occupational Medicine program has a record of not only attracting minority physicians who go on to practice occupational medicine, but who also give back to the program and the field by serving as mentors for the next generation.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划每年将支持两名学员参加为期三年的，以能力为基础的，研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）认可的机构计划，最终完成职业医学医师住院医师要求。与梅哈里医学院的使命相一致，该方案旨在通过确定致力于在弱势工作人群中实践并希望通过预防和治疗职业病和环境疾病提供服务的培训医生，为有需要的人提供教育和服务。完成该计划的医生将熟练诊断和治疗职业伤害和疾病；为工会，工业，政府和学术机构制定和管理职业和环境健康计划，并积极参与该领域的科学，法律，政治和伦理问题的发展。该项目第一年包括内科、妇产科、儿科、急诊医学、精神病学和神经病学的临床轮转。本学年将获得梅哈里大学研究生院的公共卫生理学硕士学位。作为这一学术经历的一部分，住院医生需要完成一篇关于NIOSH优先领域的研究论文。职业医学住院医师计划的目标是让每位住院医师在国家科学会议上展示论文结果，并提交论文供同行评审的科学期刊审议。实习一年的经验为每位住院医师提供了接触各种职业医学环境的机会，这些环境雇佣了弱势群体，包括低收入退伍军人、农民工、城市环境中的非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔工人。在提供文化上适当的健康促进服务方面，重点是要有能力。梅哈里医学院项目是田纳西州唯一的职业医学住院医师项目，也是全国四所历史悠久的黑人医学院唯一提供的此类项目。部分原因是Meharry作为少数民族医生的主要生产者之一，Meharry职业医学项目不仅吸引了少数民族医生继续从事职业医学实践，而且还通过作为下一代的导师来回馈该项目和该领域。
