About Occupational Medicine:

Occupational Medicine specialists work dedicatedly for organizations to ensure that they meet the highest standards in occupational health and safety. While OM involves multiple medical disciplines, Occupational Medicine providers or occupational health providers will mostly only concern preventive medicine and managing illnesses, injuries, and disabilities incurred due to the nature of work or the workplace. That being said, occupational medicine physicians are required to have a broad knowledge bank of medicine, and, in certain cases, a thorough understanding of some specific sub disciplines as well. In some scenarios, they even work towards advising and educating international councils on workplace health and safety standards.
