[MCOH-EH] ACOEM Medical Center Occupational Health Section

[Dr Joe Fanucchi]

Colleagues,

Attendance at the recent American Occupational Health Conference in 
Anaheim was the highest it's been in more than a decade, and the MCOH 
Section 
<https://acoem.org/Membership/Special-Interest-Sections/Medical-Center-Occupational-Health> 
sponsored eight individual (and very well attended) CME sessions on 
subjects related to employee health in health care facilities. 
Additionally, the annual dinner meeting of the Section was very well 
attended and featured extended discussions on TB screening in health 
care workers as well as the potential impact of USP800 recommendations.

*What does the MCOH Section do?*
