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

描述(由申请者提供)：拟召开的职业和环境健康历史会议将吸引来自美国和国际的与会者介绍研究成果，分享信息，并促进该学科的整体发展。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。会议将包括为期半天的方法研讨会，与专家小组讨论有关的一系列主旨演讲，以及原创研究的陈述。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学科项目与加州大学出版社合作进行评估。NIOSH的支持将是推动这次会议的关键，并将积极加强NIOSH在国际职业健康领域的作用，从而带来显著的公共健康利益。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的国际会议解决了职业安全和健康这一公共卫生学科尚未满足的重要教育需求。从历史经验中学习对于未来的公共卫生工作至关重要。会议将提供方法学培训和交流新研究的论坛。本次大会的内容很可能会通过多渠道、广泛影响，远远超出实际参会人员的传播。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.
