## Abstract

Abstract
The Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) residency training program based in the
Department of Medicine and the School of Public Health at Yale University School of Medicine is one of
the oldest and most highly regarded occupational medicine residency training programs in the United
States. The Yale OEM residency is an integrated two-year academic and practicum program leading to
board eligibility for certification in Occupational Medicine by the American Board of Preventive Medicine
as well as a Masters of Public Health (MPH) Degree. The program is fully accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and is currently approved for a total of four positions,
two per year.
The goal of Yale Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency training program is to train
physicians to be proficient in all aspects of the practice of occupational and environmental medicine,
including clinical, organizational and public health components, based on a sound fundamental
knowledge of toxicology, epidemiology, industrial hygiene, biostatistics, human and organization
behavior and clinical medicine. The primary objective is to train future leaders for the still-emerging
discipline of occupational and environmental medicine, preparing graduates to teach both theory and
practice, and expand the knowledge base for successful practice through rigorous scientific research. It
is the explicit goal of the Yale program to further train a proportion of these physicians to develop skills
as educators and scientific investigators, in preparation for academic careers.
The Yale OEM residency program is one of only two residency training programs in New England and
one of only nine programs in the Eastern United States. The Yale OEM residency program has been one
of the most stable and productive residency programs in this region for nearly twenty-five years. Since
1988, particular areas of achievement include an excellent record of recruiting high-quality candidates
into the field of occupational medicine and successful board certification in occupational medicine for the
majority of our graduates. The Yale OEM residency program specifically targets under-represented
candidates and has been successful in recruiting and retaining these candidates. Fifty-five physicians
have completed the training program since its inception. Sixty percent of these graduates are female
trainees and seventy percent are under-represented minorities. A third of our graduates have taken
faculty positions, pursuing research and teaching in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The
others occupy leadership positions in industry, governmental service and clinical practice. Virtually all of
our program graduates have maintained academic ties consistent with the Yale paradigm of teaching
and practice.
