4th International Conference on the History of Occupational and Environmental Med

职业和环境健康历史会议将吸引来自美国和国际的参与者，以展示研究成果，分享信息，并普遍推广该学科。这将是过去15年来一系列此类会议中的第四次，但在北美是第一次。会议的结构将包括半天的方法研讨会，一系列与专家小组讨论有关的主旨演讲，以及原创研究报告。职业和环境医学史领域的一系列世界领导人已经承诺参加拟议的会议。会议记录的出版正在通过加州大学人文项目与加州大学出版社合作进行评估。NIOSH的支持对于促进这次会议至关重要，并将积极加强NIOSH在国际职业卫生竞技场中的作用，从而带来重大的公共卫生效益。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的国际会议解决了一个重要的，未满足的教育需求，具体到职业安全和健康的公共卫生学科。从历史经验中吸取教训对今后的公共卫生工作至关重要。会议将提供方法培训和交流新研究的论坛。本次会议的内容很可能通过多种渠道和广泛影响传播到远远超出实际与会者的范围。这将是第一次在美国举行这样的会议。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed conference on the history of occupational and environmental health will draw participants from the United States and internationally to present research findings, share information, and promote the discipline generally. It will be the fourth in a series of such conferences over the last decade and a half, but the first in North America. The conference will be structured to include a half-day methods workshop, a series of keynote presentations linked to expert panel discussions, and presentations of original research. A series of world leaders in the field of occupational and environmental medical history have already committed to participating in the proposed meeting. Publication of the proceedings is being evaluated through a University of California humanities program in collaboration with the UC Press. NIOSH support will be critical to promote this conference and will positively reinforce the role of NIOSH in the international occupational health arena, thus leading to significant public health benefits. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed international conference addresses an important, unmet educational need specific to the public health discipline of occupational safety and health. Learning from historical experience is pivotal to future public health efforts. The meeting will provide methodological training and a forum of the exchange of new research. The contents of this conference are likely to be disseminated far beyond the actual attendees through multiple channels and widespread impact. This will be the first such meeting held in the U.S.
