Terminal Progress Report for Residency Training in Occupational Medicine

摘要

The purpose of the grant was to provide funds for residency training of qualified medical doctors at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York in the field of Occupational Medicine. The training provided a strong clinical orientation and included hospital and clinical teaching covering occupational diseases, industrial hygiene, biostatistical evaluation and understanding of administrative procedures and regulations. The commitment to epidemiological studies was strong, including field surveys, multidisciplinary research, and low level, long term exposures. Lectures, seminars and demonstrations also cover the areas of public health administration and the delivery of health care in industrial settings. The clinical program consisted of interpretation of chest roentgenograms, weekly attendance at an occupational medicine out-patient clinic, assignment to the pulmonary medicine unit of the hospital, assignment to a labor union, and serving as part of a consulting service to the staff of the hospital.
