Meharry Occupational Medicine Residency Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：该计划将支持每年三名学员在一个基于能力的，认证理事会研究生医学教育（ACGME）认可的机构计划，导致在职业医学医师住院要求完成。Meharry医学院计划是田纳西州唯一的职业医学住院医师计划，也是全国四所历史悠久的黑人医学院提供的唯一此类计划。与Meharry医学院的使命一致，该计划旨在通过确定医生在培训中的承诺，在弱势工作人群中实践，并希望通过职业和环境疾病的预防和治疗服务，教育和服务那些有需要的人。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卫生计划，并积极参与该领域的科学，法律的，政治和道德问题的发展。该学年导致公共卫生教育理事会（CEPH）认可的公共卫生科学硕士学位从Meharry的研究生院。居民必须完成职业健康和安全领域的研究论文作为这一学术经验的一部分。职业医学住院医师计划旨在让每位住院医师在国家科学会议上展示他们的研究工作成果，并提交工作以供考虑在同行评审的科学期刊上发表。实习年的经验为每位居民提供了接触各种职业医学环境的机会，这些环境雇用弱势群体，包括低收入退伍军人，移民农场工人以及城市环境中的非洲裔和拉丁裔工人。在提供文化上适当的健康促进服务方面，非常强调有能力。部分原因是由于梅哈里作为少数民族医生的主要生产者之一的地位，梅哈里职业医学计划不仅吸引了继续从事职业医学的少数民族医生，而且还通过担任下一代的导师来回馈该计划和该领域。 公共卫生相关性：这个项目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个月期限结束时，实习医生将在参加美国预防医学委员会专业认证考试所需的所有学术和临床领域表现出能力。忠实于梅哈里医学院（一所历史上的黑人学院和大学）的使命，并根据以前的计划经验，这些医生也可能为弱势美国人口服务，并通过帮助培训新一代的职业医学医生来回馈该计划。

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.
