    Spirometry Testing in Occupational Health - Physician Update  

    Course Director:
    Mary Townsend, Dr.P.H. 
     

    Occupational medicine physicians frequently use spirometry in their practices, but their training rarely prepares them to appreciate the impact and scope of spirometry's technical pitfalls, nor does it introduce them to optimal spirometry interpretation algorithms. Practitioners may also have to select supplementary diagnostic tests to rule out or establish a diagnosis of lung disease, without understanding the pitfalls involved in these additional tests. This ACOEM course addresses both of these limitations, drawing information on spirometry from a comprehensive NIOSH-approved course, and selecting case examples for a physician audience to illustrate the roles of spirometry and other diagnostic tests in the evaluation of workers for occupational lung disease. This course confers no NIOSH spirometry certification.

    Work Disability Prevention for Clinicians: Mastering your role in the SAW/RTW process  

    Course Director: 
    Jennifer Christian, MD, MPH 
     

    After attending this workshop you will be able to deliver more practical value to patients, employers, and insurers. It will increase the accuracy and usefulness of the guidance you give others in the stay-at-work and return-to-work process – and your effectiveness at preventing needless work disability and helping people stay employed.

    During the course you will identify an opportunity for improvement in your own work environment and explore the practical steps involved in making that change. You will leave with more wisdom as well as an action plan, as well as a notebook that includes a set of clinical tools including standardized questionnaires, forms, protocols, resource materials, and an annotated bibliography.

    CAOHC Professional Supervisor Course  

    Course Director: 
    Bruce Kirchner, MD MPH CPS/A 
     

    Federal regulations define audiologists and physicians as the only professionals who may serve as Professional Supervisors (PS) of occupational hearing conservation programs. However, there is little guidance as to how the PS should fulfill this role. The Professional Supervisor of the Audiometric Component of the Hearing Conservation Program workshop is an intermediate-level course that outlines the scope of practice of the physician or audiologist as a PS of an occupational hearing conservation program.
