• Description:
  The Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) residency training program based in the Department of Medicine and the School of Public Health at Yale University School of Medicine is one of the oldest and most highly regarded occupational medicine residency training programs in the United States. This residency training program was established in 1985 and has been supported as a Training Program Project by NIOSH since 1988. The Yale OEM residency is an integrated two-year academic and practicum program leading to board eligibility for certification in Occupational Medicine by the American Board of Preventive Medicine as well as a Masters of Public Health (MPH) Degree. The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and is currently approved for a total of four positions, two per year. The goal of Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency training program is to train physicians to be proficient in all aspects of the practice of occupational and environmental medicine. It is the explicit goal of the Yale program to further train a proportion of these physicians to develop skills as educators and scientific investigators, in preparation for academic careers. The Yale OEM residency program is one of only two residency training programs in New England and one of only six programs in the eastern United States. The Yale OEM residency program has been one of the most stable and productive residency programs in this region for over twenty-six years. The Yale OEM residency program specifically targets under-represented candidates and has been successful in recruiting and retaining these candidates. Areas of program achievement include the continuation of an excellent track record for recruiting high-quality candidates into the field. Ten residents completed the residency training program during the most recent grant period. The majority of our graduates have gone on to full-time occupational medicine practice, while maintaining academic ties and continued teaching as fulltime or adjunct faculty. Therefore, this program addresses an important occupational health need to reduce the shortage of formally trained occupational medicine physicians at the regional and national level who serve as clinicians, educators and research scientists. Other areas of achievement include: expansion of educational efforts within the medical school, including an Occupational and Environmental Medicine clinical rotation for medical students, residents and allied health professionals from Yale University and other programs within the State of Connecticut; an increase in research opportunities and research grants awarded to faculty; continued growth and development of clinical and consultative services; and augmentation of community outreach and educational activities.
