A new type of occupational medicine clinic has recently emerged in the United States. These clinics are multispecialty in staffing, are located in hospital outpatient departments, and are affiliated with academic medical centers. Their primary goal is to provide personal health and medical services including diagnosis, treatment, and follow-through of occupationally related diseases. Approximately 15 such clinics have been established in the last several years. A review of the medical, economic, and social forces that have historically shaped the content and scope of occupational medical and health services for workers explains in large part the reasons why many of these clinics have now come into being. Characteristics of eight of these clinics are reviewed in detail. These clinics provide a setting for interdisciplinary and interspecialty education of personnel and offer the medical community a demonstration of a means for better recognition and treatment of occupationally related illnesses.
一种新型的职业医学诊所最近在美国出现。这些诊所人员配备具有多专业性，位于医院门诊部，并附属于学术医疗中心。其主要目标是提供个人健康和医疗服务，包括职业相关疾病的诊断、治疗及后续跟进。在过去几年里大约已设立了15家这样的诊所。回顾历史上塑造工人职业医疗和健康服务内容与范围的医学、经济和社会力量，在很大程度上解释了为何现在许多此类诊所应运而生。详细回顾了其中八家诊所的特点。这些诊所为人员提供跨学科和跨专业教育的场所，并向医学界展示了一种更好地识别和治疗职业相关疾病的方法。
