What is a specialist? The role of board certification in occupational medicine
Environ Res.
1992 Oct.
Abstract
A shortage of occupational medicine physicians exists for which a number of solutions have been proposed. The lack of board-certified specialists to address the increasingly complex issues encountered in this area of medicine has contributed to a credibility and identity crisis within the occupational medicine community. This article will review the significance of board certification and its importance for enhancing and preserving the specialty of occupational medicine.
