value of Occupational Medicine board certification
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Philip Harber, Johnny Bontemps, Sasha Rose, Samantha Wu, Kaochoy SaechaoAbstract:OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of Occupational Medicine board certification and career stage on practice characteristics. METHODS: Two hundred sixty Occupational Medicine physicians completed a questionnaire and 25 activity log descriptions about 72 items in 9 major domains. For each item, the percentage of activities involving the item and the percentage of physicians conducting the item at least once were calculated. Results were analyzed by board certification status and career stage. RESULTS: Board-certified physicians had more-diverse practice activities and skills. They were more involved in management and public health-oriented activities, with greater emphasis on toxicology and less on musculoskeletal disorders. The noncertified physicians received more payment from workers' compensation. Early-career physicians spent more time in direct injury/illness treatment, being paid by workers' compensation, and addressing musculoskeletal problems. CONCLUSIONS: Formal training confers advantages in practice diversity and population Medicine orientation.

Occupational Medicine practice one specialty or three
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Philip Harber, Johnny Bontemps, Sasha Rose, Kaochoy Saechao, Yihang Liu, David ElashoffAbstract:Objective: To characterize education, practice, and skills of Occupational physicians and to evaluate subgroups within the profession. Methods: The data for the baseline surveys of the Occupational Medicine practice research project were collected for a national sample of Occupational physicians using paper or on-line instruments. Three subgroups were defined a prioriinjury care, clinical specialist, and management/population. Results: Occupational Medicine seems to include three distinct subgroups, which differ in characteristics such as patient volume, relevant clinical skills, and income source. Nevertheless, many commonalities were present across all three groups, such as emphasis on communication, OSHA, and workers compensation. Musculoskeletal and workers compensation care were most important, although there were highly significant differences among the three subgroups. Conclusions: Planning for education, certification, and organization of services should acknowledge the distinctions among the three subgroups.

outcomes of an intervention to increase physicians underrepresented in Medicine in Occupational Medicine training
Journal of Public Health Management and Practice, 2021Co-Authors: Judith Greenmckenzie, Sajjad SavulAbstract:CONTEXT Diversity in the US physician workforce is important. Physicians Underrepresented in Medicine (UIM) are more likely to serve poor, uninsured, and vulnerable populations. OBJECTIVE To increase the number of UIM physicians in Occupational Medicine. PROGRAM An Inclusion and Diversity Committee, consisting of the program director, trainees, and graduates, was created with the goal of recruiting and developing UIM residents and increasing Occupational and Environmental Medicine awareness. Outreach to UIM residents and medical students at local, regional, and national meetings, creation and distribution of descriptive brochures, and supervised 1-day observerships were some of the interventions. RESULTS Only 4 Underrepresented Minorities physicians out of 65 (6%) graduated during the first decade of the program 1997-2007; this increased to (16/70) 23% during the following decade subsequent to establishing the Inclusion and Diversity Committee. CONCLUSION A multifaceted strategic approach can help increase UIM physician participation in graduate training programs, helping address health equity.

prevalence of burnout in Occupational and environmental Medicine physicians in the united states
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2020Co-Authors: Judith Greenmckenzie, Parvathi Somasundaram, Timothy Lawler, Edward Ohara, Frances S ShoferAbstract:Objective To determine prevalence and key drivers of burnout in Occupational and Environmental Medicine physicians in the United States. Methods A nationwide survey of Occupational Medicine physicians was conducted using the Qualtrics® platform. Burnout, measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory®, Social Support, and Job Satisfaction were assessed. Results The response rate was 46%, the overall burnout prevalence 38%, and most respondents were men (69%). The mean age and mean years in practice were 56 years and 20 years respectively. Physicians working in government/military (48%) and private medical center group settings (46%) were significantly more likely to report burnout, with consultants (15%) reporting the lowest rate. Conclusions Although the overall burnout prevalence is lower in Occupational Medicine physicians compared with most specialties, the rate varies significantly by practice setting (15% to 48%) affirming the impact of organizational factors.

1450 outcomes of an innovative train in place Occupational Medicine residency program
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2018Co-Authors: Judith Greenmckenzie, Edward A EmmettAbstract:Introduction Physicians making a mid-career change in specialty may find options for formal training limited. We describe a train-in-place program, with measureable outcomes, created to meet the challenge of training mid-career physicians desiring formal training in the field of Occupational Medicine. Our objective is to evaluate educational outcomes from a novel residency program for mid-career physicians seeking formal training and board certification in Occupational Medicine. Methods Physicians train-in-place at select Clinical Training Sites where they practice, participating in eighteen visits to Philadelphia over a two year period. Program components include competency-based training structured around Subject Area Rotations, mentored trainee projects and periodic auditing visits to the Clinical Training Sites by program faculty. The main outcome measures are achievement of Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education milestones and American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine competencies, performance on the American College of Preventive Medicine examinations, diversity in selection and placement of residents after training, and the number of graduates who remain in the field. Results Graduates, 113 to date, comprised 7.5% of new American Board of Preventive Medicine diplomates over the past decade, score competitively on the certifying examination, achieve all milestones, express satisfaction with training, and are geographically dispersed representing every region of the United States. Most practice outside of the 25 largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Over 95% remain in the field. Conclusions Training-in-place is an effective approach to provide mid-career physicians seeking comprehensive skills and Board certification in Occupational Medicine formal training, and may be adaptable to other fields.
