DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program will support three trainees per year in a competency-based, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited institutional program leading to completion of physician residency requirements in Occupational Medicine. 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. 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 academic year leads to a Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) accredited Master of Science in Public Health degree from Meharry's School of Graduate Studies. Residents are required to complete a research thesis on an occupational health and safety area as part of this academic experience. The Occupational Medicine Residency program aims to have each resident present the results of their research work 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. 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. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This program will provide much needed post- MD training for physicians interested in practicing occupational preventive medicine. At the end of a rigorous 24-month period, the physician trainees will have demonstrated competency in all academic and clinical areas required for eligibility to take the specialty certification examination of the American Board of Preventive Medicine. True to the mission of Meharry Medical College (an Historically Black College and University) and based on prior program experience, these physicians are also likely to serve vulnerable US populations and to give back to the program by helping to train still newer generations of occupational medicine physicians.

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划每年将支持三名学员参加基于能力的研究生医学教育认证委员会 (ACGME) 认证的机构计划，从而完成职业医学的医师住院医师要求。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，也是全国四所历史黑人医学院提供的唯一此类项目。与梅哈里医学院的使命相一致，该计划旨在通过寻找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病来提供服务的实习医生来教育和服务那些有需要的人。完成该计划的医生将熟练地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、政治和道德问题的发展。该学年获得公共卫生教育委员会 (CEPH) 认可的梅哈里研究生院公共卫生理学硕士学位。作为学术经历的一部分，居民必须完成一篇关于职业健康和安全领域的研究论文。职业医学住院医师计划的目的是让每位住院医师在全国科学会议上展示其研究工作成果，并将研究成果提交以供考虑在同行评审的科学期刊上发表。实习年的经验使每位住院医师有机会接触各种雇用弱势群体的职业医学环境，包括低收入退伍军人、农民工以及城市环境中的非裔美国人和拉丁裔工人。我们非常重视提供适合文化的健康促进服务的能力。部分由于梅哈里是少数族裔医生的主要培养者之一，梅哈里职业医学项目不仅吸引了继续从事职业医学工作的少数族裔医生，而且还通过担任下一代导师来回馈该项目和该领域。 公共卫生相关性：该计划将为有兴趣从事职业预防医学的医生提供急需的医学博士后培训。在严格的 24 个月期限结束后，实习医生将展示出参加美国预防医学委员会专业认证考试资格所需的所有学术和临床领域的能力。忠于梅哈里医学院（一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学）的使命，并根据之前的项目经验，这些医生也可能为美国弱势群体提供服务，并通过帮助培训新一代职业医学医生来回馈该项目。
