Physicians who are board-certified in occupational and environmental medicine often have formal training and experience in toxicology, epidemiology, and industrial hygiene, as well as clinical medicine, human physiology, and pathology, and are well suited to be team members in the various phases of risk assessment, communication, and management. Those with several years of experience in the clinical, as well as administrative practice of occupational and environmental medicine, are engaged in the practical application of risk characterization, risk communication, and risk management on an almost daily basis. We propose that the occupational and environmental medicine physician is in a unique position to bridge the communication gap between those professionals who provide various components of the risk assessment process and those who manage those risks in society.
获得职业与环境医学委员会认证的医生通常在毒理学、流行病学、工业卫生以及临床医学、人体生理学和病理学方面接受过正规培训并具有相关经验，非常适合成为风险评估、沟通和管理各个阶段的团队成员。那些在职业与环境医学的临床以及行政管理实践方面有多年经验的医生，几乎每天都在从事风险特征描述、风险沟通和风险管理的实际应用工作。我们认为，职业与环境医学医生处于一个独特的位置，能够弥合提供风险评估过程各个组成部分的专业人员与社会中管理这些风险的人员之间的沟通差距。
