The Musculoskeletal System at Work and Updates in Occupational and Environmental Medicine
THURSDAY – SATURDAY
March 9 - 11, 2023
Additional Event Wednesday, March 8th Evening Scientific Poster Session and Opening Reception
Course# MDM23N01
Overview
These courses are presented by the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine in the Department of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco. They provide targeted reviews of one topic area along with a broader update of current topics in occupational and environmental health. The curriculum is designed for occupational and environmental health professionals, including occupational physicians and nurses, and industrial hygienists. It also meets the needs of primary care providers and others engaged in practice and research, including physicians (family medicine practitioners, internists, emergency medicine specialists), advanced practice nurses and other nursing professionals, and physician assistants. Policy makers and medical-legal practitioners also benefit from the curriculum offered. The first day of the 2023 course, The Musculoskeletal System at Work, addresses subject areas that underscore the interrelationships between workplace hazards and the impact on the musculoskeletal system of workers. Topic examples include the impact on neck and back pain, toxic effects on muscle, ergonomic analyses, and a keynote address on carpal tunnel. A poster session the evening before the first conference day will supplement this content, including case reports and research data. The second day and final half-day of the course will cover a multi-topic theme: Updates in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This course is designed to provide the experienced clinician with a review of the epidemiology, and the evaluation of occupational and environmental diseases and injuries. The curriculum will also include a substantial component focused on issues specifically pertinent to occupationally and environmentally-related disease. Most attendees will be occupational physicians or advance practice nurses, but some are specialists in related fields who will profit by an in-depth presentation of occupational and environmental medicine topics. Other disciplines frequently represented among participants include emergency medicine, pediatrics, physiatry, non-advanced practice nursing, industrial hygiene, public health practice, and the law, all of which can play a pivotal role in occupational and environmental health.
Objectives
Attendees completing this course will be able to:
- Improve their role in addressing occupational and environmental health topics in clinical practice;
- Adopt new medical knowledge into preventive activities addressing occupational and environmental established and newer risk factors;
- Evaluate scientific data in the field of occupational and environmental health;
- Expand the differential diagnosis to incorporate a wider range of environmental and occupational factors in various disease processes;
- Improve diagnostic methods and treatment options for selected occupational and environmental conditions;
- Inform the prioritization of clinical care, research, and public health policy with state-of-the-art updates.
