This session will introduce participants to the typical provider responsibilities and types of patient encounters seen in occupational health settings using case presentations. Furthermore, clinicians working in primary care who encounter potential occupational-related injuries will recognize the necessary components in obtaining occupational and environmental medical history to aid in determining causality. The OSHA recordability guide will also be reviewed as well as a list of commonly occurring occupational injuries seen in practice. Lastly, participants will be provided guidance on managing occupational-related injuries that require science, negotiation, and effective communication with the patient and employer.
