DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): Despite centuries of recognition of the contribution of workplace factors to human health, disease, injury, disability, and death, occupational medicine remains an obscure specialty within the health care community. Following passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, there was a rise in the number of accredited residency training programs in occupational medicine, reaching a peak in the mid-90s. Since then, the number of such programs has declined rapidly by almost 25 percent in spite of a recognized shortfall of physicians with formalized training in this area. Rural communities in particular often lack the infrastructure for developing and sustaining a preventive approach to occupational disease and injury especially for specific work sectors such as agriculture and where the hired workforce may constitute the majority of employees. The objective of this proposal to improve public health will be to seek support from NIOSH not only for sustaining and increasing the number of occupational medicine trained physicians, but also to bring a dimension of training which concentrates on the occupational health needs of the rural workforce with special emphasis on agriculture. Specific aims for this training project are to: 1. sustain and. improve the supply of qualified physicians, with specific competency skills, needed to address occupational health concerns in non-urban areas. 2. increase the number of occupational medicine residency graduates with training in agricultural occupational health regionally (Texas). 3. increase training opportunities in agricultural occupational health in 4 other U.S. Public Health regions, through appropriate clinical rotations and field experiences. 4. enhance occupational medicine resident understanding of responsible and culturally appropriate research activities through formal instructional tools, awareness of current research activities, and creation of opportunities for participation in research projects sponsored by the NIOSH Agricultural Centers. 5. nurture partnerships for interdisciplinary clinical experience between regional accredited occupational medicine residency programs and community/migrant health centers through collaboration with the National Center for Farmworker Health (NCFH).

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管认识到工作场所因素对人类健康，疾病，伤害，残疾和死亡的贡献几个世纪，但职业医学仍然是卫生保健社区内的晦涩专业。通过1970年的《职业安全与健康法》，在职业医学中获得认可的住院医师培训计划的数量增加，在90年代中期达到了高峰。从那时起，尽管在该领域接受正式培训的医生公认的医生不足，此类计划的数量迅速下降了近25％。尤其是农村社区通常缺乏发展和维持用于职业疾病和伤害的预防方法的基础设施，尤其是对于特定的工作部门，例如农业以及雇用的劳动力可能构成大多数员工的地方。这项改善公共卫生的建议的目的是寻求NIOSH的支持，不仅是为了维持和增加受过职业医学培训的医生的数量，而且还要带来培训的方面，该培训层面集中在农村劳动力的职业健康需求上，并特别强调农业。该培训项目的具体目标是：1。维持和。提高具有特定能力技能的合格医生的供应，以解决非城市地区的职业健康问题。 2。通过在地区的农业职业卫生培训（德克萨斯州）中增加职业医学居民的数量。 3。通过适当的临床轮换和现场经验，在其他4个美国公共卫生地区增加农业职业健康的培训机会。 4.通过正式的教学工具，对当前的研究活动的认识以及参与NIOSH农业中心赞助的研究项目的机会，增强了职业医学居民对负责任和文化适当的研究活动的理解。 5。通过与国家农场工人健康中心（NCFH）合作，在地区认可的职业医学居住计划与社区/移民保健中心之间建立跨学科临床经验的合作伙伴关系。
