To develop an actionable plan to sustain and improve the quality of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) Residency Program.
Program metrics were collected and analyzed to assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis).
Program strengths are stable funding, full-time faculty and large class size. Weaknesses are limited toxicology curriculum, and the lack of complex clinical cases. Opportunities include establishing an OEM referral clinic, collaborating with U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) toxicology programs, aligning OEM research priorities in DoD, and including DoD Civilian physicians in OEM residency training. Threats are Military Health System reorganization, budget, and personnel cuts.
The USU OEM Residency is strong but must be flexible to adjust to personnel, fiscal, and organizational changes. Aggregating the SWOT analyses for all the OEM residency programs may help identify strategies to sustain OEM training in the United States.
制定一项可行的计划，以维持和提高卫生科学统一服务大学（USU）职业与环境医学（OEM）住院医师培训计划的质量。
收集和分析计划指标，以评估优势、劣势、机会和威胁（SWOT 分析）。
该计划的优势是稳定的资金、全职教师和较大的班级规模。不足之处在于毒理学课程有限，缺乏复杂的临床病例。机会包括建立 OEM 转诊诊所、与美国国防部（DoD）毒理学计划合作、使 DoD 中的 OEM 研究重点保持一致，以及让 DoD 平民医生参与 OEM 住院医师培训。威胁是医疗保健系统的重组、预算和人员削减。
USU OEM 住院医师培训计划实力雄厚，但必须灵活调整人员、财务和组织变化。对所有 OEM 住院医师培训计划的 SWOT 分析进行汇总，可能有助于确定在美国维持 OEM 培训的策略。
