Occupational Medicine Journal Club is an educational and networking opportunity to discuss and debate the results of recently published research. Each meeting we will enjoy a networking dinner and discuss a recent article from a peer reviewed journal. Wine donations greatly appreciated.
The ultimate goal of this series is to promote the optimal health and safety of workers, workplaces, and the environment by:
- Educating healthcare professionals and the public;
-
Stimulating research;
-
Enhancing quality of practice;
-
Guiding public policy; and
-
Advancing the field of occupational and environmental medicine.
Articles are selected on the basis of their usefulness to practitioners in terms of clinical practice and the care of worker populations at the programmatic level.
Learning Objectives: At the end of each session, you should be able to:
-
Interpret and explain a current occupational or environmental medicine research report;
-
Apply an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies; and
-
Outline standards of care relevant to occupational and environmental health practice.
Your Best Response to a Changing World!
The Southwest Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (SWCOEH) supports research, education and outreach in occupational and environmental health. The SWCOEH is housed within the Department of Epidemiology, Human Genetics and Environmental Sciences of the UTHealth School of Public Health and is under the leadership of Elaine Symanski, PhD who serves as Director.
The SWCOEH was established in 1977 as a NIOSH-funded Education and Research Center (ERC), now one of 18 ERCs in the nation. In 1985, the SWCOEH became a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Occupational Health.
The mission of the SWCOEH Continuing Education (CE) Program is to serve as a training resource for professionals and decision-makers in the occupational and environmental health fields by delivering specialized courses in response to current training needs. Our ultimate goal is to improve occupational and environmental health.
