Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency Training Grant (University ofColorado Health Sciences Center). Final Performance Report

摘要

With support from NIOSH, the University of Colorado Occupational andEnvironmental Medicine Residency Program expanded and developed during the grant period. Physicians completing the program are board eligible in Occupational/Environmental Medicine and are prepared for careers in occupational and environmental medicine. This program contributes to the supply of highly skilled physicians in this field both regionally and nationally. With the NIOSH training grant, the authors have supported portions of tuition or stipends of five physician trainees in their occupational medicine residency. In addition, the entire curriculum of this residency program evolved during the last four years with the start of the residency. During the training grant period, the authors have modified the problem-based learning course from a three quarter course to a year-round course, incorporating the content of the orientation period during the first seven weeks of the first year.
