We assessed the demographic profile and opinions of current occupational medicine (OM) physicians on the importance of specific core competencies.
A random sample of 1500 OM physicians listed in the membership directory of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) were asked to complete a voluntary survey.
Six hundred and ten OM physicians completed the survey. Fifty two percent worked in clinical settings, and 16% worked in corporate or industrial settings. Eighty percent were satisfied with their choice of careers.
OM physicians appeared to be highly trained, with 60% certified in OM and 68% board certified in other specialties. The OM physicians valued staying current in the field, understanding the relationship between occupational exposure and health, and communicating with stakeholders most highly. Occupational physicians are an important source of knowledge regarding what competencies and core knowledge areas are important for OM practice.
我们评估了当前职业医学（OM）医生的人口统计学特征以及他们对特定核心能力重要性的看法。
从美国职业与环境医学学会（ACOEM）会员名录中随机抽取1500名OM医生，邀请他们完成一项自愿调查。
610名OM医生完成了调查。52%在临床环境中工作，16%在企业或工业环境中工作。80%对自己的职业选择感到满意。
OM医生似乎受过良好的培训，60%获得了职业医学认证，68%在其他专业领域获得了委员会认证。OM医生最看重紧跟该领域前沿、理解职业暴露与健康之间的关系以及与利益相关者进行沟通。职业医生是了解哪些能力和核心知识领域对职业医学实践至关重要的重要知识来源。
