Featuring Preventive Medicine Grand Rounds

Featuring Preventive Medicine Grand Rounds
August 4, 2021 , 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM (ET)

Remote Participation Only

Join August’s Preventive Medicine Grand Rounds and learn about the role the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) plays in Preventive Medicine.

How much do you really know about the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)? Have you ever thought about how much of our lives are spent at work and the influence work can have on our health? Have you ever thought about how worker health influences productivity? Safeguarding worker health is often an underappreciated aspect of Preventive Medicine.

This presentation will help Preventive Medicine learners understand the background and mission of NIOSH, key activities at NIOSH, and examples of how work at NIOSH helps protect the health of the nation’s workers.

Remote Participation Only
