Occupational Medicine

Occupational Medicine is a branch of healthcare that focuses on the health and safety of workers. In the context of Family Medicine, it involves assessing and managing health issues that may arise from a person's job, such as exposure to harmful substances, repetitive strain injuries, or stress-related conditions. Family physicians trained in Occupational Medicine provide evaluations, preventive care, and guidance on how to maintain health while working, ensuring that individuals can perform their jobs safely without compromising their wellbeing. Their goal is to link overall family health with workplace-related factors.
