Regulatory Rounds
Regulatory rounds are one of the key features of the Occupational Medicine
Elective.
Every morning, residents meet as a group for one hour with their preceptor for a
didactic session. During these encounters, the residents will review their
current cases and projects with each other and the attending physician. This
provides an educational forum to emphasize teaching points, identify
opportunities for project improvement and monitor project progress.
The attending staff may also use this time to help the residents prepare for the
American Board of Preventive Medicine Board Certification in Occupational
Medicine, as well as to present teaching cases from the Office of Occupational
Medicine.
Through a combination of resident-based learning and direct preceptor
supervision, resident physicians receive individualized attention and continuous
opportunities for the advancement of professional knowledge. Ultimately,
regulatory rounds provide an interactive opportunity for resident education.
"The Occupational Safety and Health Administration employs some of the
nation’s top health and safety experts."
Informational Interviews The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
employs the nation’s top health and safety experts. During the course
of the elective, residents will have the opportunity to interview several of the
key health and safety professionals working in OSHA's National Office. All of these
individuals are committed to educating future health and safety experts and are
ready to impart their knowledge and experiences.
Field Trip Inspection
During the course of their rotation, the residents will participate with field
personnel in an OSHA investigation. Prior to the inspection date, residents will
prepare by researching the employer according to its Standardized Industrial
Classification, engineering processes, likely hazards and prior inspection
history. After the inspection, the residents will collaborate on a written
report that emphasizes content similar to professional consulting activities.
Thus, the residents will obtain first-hand knowledge of the OSHA
enforcement process.
