Key facts

Occupational and Environmental Medicine physicians at the University of Washington, treat work-related injuries and diseases, recognize and resolve workplace and environmental hazards, conduct research to understand and prevent illnesses and injuries related to the workplace and the environment, and guide occupational and environmental health public policy.

The MPH in Occupational & Environmental Medicine (MPH-OEM) degree is geared towards physicians and is typically offered in conjunction with an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited two-year residency, including the University of Washington OEM residency and Madigan Army Medical Center Public Health residency. Upon successful completion of the MPH-OEM degree and a residency in either OEM or Public Health, participants are eligible for board certification by the American Board of Preventive Medicine.

The MPH-OEM degree combines broad training in public health with specific training in occupational and environmental medicine. The program of study includes core courses in occupational and environmental medicine, environmental health, epidemiology, biostatistics, health services administration, and social and behavioral health sciences. In addition, students are required to conduct a research-based master's thesis. OEM and Public Health residency training counts toward the public health practicum, another requirement of the MPH-OEM degree.
