Occupational and Environmental Medicine Fundamentals Course – September 8-12, 2025
The Navy and Marine Corps Force Health Protection Command/Defense Centers for Public Health- Portsmouth (formerly Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center) is offering their Occupational and Environmental Medicine Fundamentals course September 8-12, 2025 (virtually via MS Teams).
The OEM/OHN Fundamentals Course will provide instruction on basic (routine) Occupational Medicine (OM) and how it is practiced in the US Navy/DoD. The course is intended for health care providers (physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners) and nurses that do not have formal OM training (i.e., OEM residency or experience) or are new to the Navy/DoD OM program who will be practicing in an Occupational Health clinic or have significant OM-related workload. The course will cover the history of OM, workplace hazards, risk communication, Navy/DoD Occupational Health programs, worksite visits, and available resources. This is NOT a board review course and NOT a refresher course for those who are experienced or have taken the course previously.
This course would be a great opportunity for GMOs/Flight Surgeons/UMOs, and physicians who may be interested in pursuing Occupational Medicine as a residency.
CME application is pending and anticipate the course will be approved as it has been in the past. Previous courses have been approved for 25-30 CME credits.
Please visit the Occupational Medicine Fundamentals Course webpage for more detailed information and student registration request.
