Preventative Medicine - Occupational

The three major specialty areas in preventive health are aerospace medicine, occupational medicine, and public health and general preventive medicine. Since April 2010 there has been a new educational pathway to Board Certification in this specialty called the Complementary Pathway. It is designed for the mid-career physician who wishes to make a career change into the practice of preventive medicine and achieve certification in one of its three specialty areas - Aerospace Medicine, Occupational Medicine or Public Health and General Preventive Medicine.

Occupational Medicine is concerned with health in the workplace. Occupational medicine physicians are both clinicians dealing with work-related disease and injury and specialists in environmental hazards, advising on ways to protect workers and managers on the job.
