Hi MCOH peeps,

This is a shameless plug for the Medical Center Occupational Health Basics course, April 27, 2018 in New Orleans. This is a Pre-Course associated with ACOEM’s annual meeting. If you are an MD/DO/NP/PA and are new to this particular niche of occupational medicine - or would just like a one-stop refresher on what’s new in the field, this is a day well spent (if I do say so myself.) Last year’s reviews were enthusiastic, so ACOEM has asked us to present this again.

Topics on this year’s agenda include:

· Protecting Health Care Workers from Emerging Threats

· Updates in Blood Borne Pathogen Exposures

· Vaccine-Preventable Diseases: Prevention and Exposure Management

· Tuberculosis and Other Infectious Diseases

· Managing the Infected HCW

· Chemical Hazards and USP <800>

· Radiological Hazards

· OSHA Emphasis on Health Care Facilities

· Workplace Violence

· Healthcare Ergonomics

To learn more about the course, or to register, visit the AOHC website at https://www.acoem.org/AOHC.aspx

Hope to see you there in NOLA!
