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年以来一直存在的现有职业与环境医学(OEM)住院医师资格的续签申请。该方案帮助解决全国OM医生短缺的问题，他们在服务不足的地区短缺，以及代表不足的少数民族OM医生短缺。医学研究所在20年前就解决了这种短缺问题，但这种情况仍然存在。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，主要面向在职业生涯中期转向全职OEM执业的经验丰富的医生，以培养训练有素的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)。我们打算每年从这个为期两年的培训计划中毕业一名NIOSH支持的住院医生，在5年的资助期内总共毕业五名NIOSH支持的住院医生。成功的申请者至少满足ACGME认可的临床PGY-1年以上的要求，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攻读公共卫生硕士或硕士学位，并在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，居民在第一年进行5次主题区域轮换(SARS)，每次2个月；在第二年进行6次SARS，每次1个月。第二年的项目，最终将在地方或国家会议和/或制作上发表演讲 一份手稿也是第二年的要求。要达到的能力基于ACGME、ACOEM和部分OEM能力。毕业需要达到OEM里程碑。住院医生还在两年的时间里学习8门与OEM和PM相关的研究生水平课程。SARS是在宾夕法尼亚大学进行的，是每月3天的强化教学培训课程。CTS和SAR董事是ABPM的外交官和他们所教领域的国家专家。宾夕法尼亚州立大学OEM住院医师计划成功地实现了培训该领域专家的OEM医生的目标，使他们为实现1970年《职业安全与健康法案》的目的做好准备，并增加了OEM医生和代表性不足的医生的数量。自2005年以来，99岁的毕业生占ABPM-OM新外交官的7%--比同期任何其他美国文职项目都多，而且在ABPM-OM考试中的得分高于平均值。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，该项目满足了他们的需求，并极大地增加了他们对OM的了解。大多数工作在实习培训的OEM医生服务不足的地区进行，并已做好充分准备，以帮助保护和恢复劳动力的健康，促进工人的健康、生产力和福祉，并认识、控制和预防职业危害。
