Concurrent Sessions C:
Session C-1: Enhancing Prevention in Occupational
Health: Implications for Academic Programs
The scope of preventive activities in occupational health is enlarging, increasingly including general health promotion and disease management. This session will consider policy and practical issues for academic educational programs including education and research center related training. The program will consider several approaches: broadening the scope of existing occupational health disciplines, nurturing a new discipline in workplace health promotion, and enhancing the occupational orientation of existing health promotion activities with discussions from three disciplines (i.e., occupational medicine, nursing, and psychology). Speakers will provide short descriptions of current and future programmatic options, allowing significant time for panel and audience interaction.
