Abstract
Occupational medicine encompasses the delivery of physical, mental, and emotional health care in the workplace. Involvement of PAs in occupational medicine escalated in 1978, as industry responded to cost-containment pressures; PAs performed annual employee physical examinations, exercise stress testing, occupational health education, and treatment of work-related injuries. Work settings initially focused on underserved areas; today they include plant sites, private industrial-medicine clinics, and corporate medical administration. Utilization continues to expand. The American Academy of Physician Assistants in Occupational Medicine--founded in 1981--develops continuing medical education programs and educates industry and the public about PAs in occupational medicine. The future of PA utilization in occupational medicine lies in cost containment.
职业医学包括在工作场所提供身体、精神和情感保健。1978年，随着行业对控制成本的压力作出反应，执业医师参与职业医学的程度有所上升;医务人员每年对员工进行体检、运动压力测试、职业健康教育和工伤治疗。工作环境最初侧重于服务不足的地区;今天，它们包括工厂、私人工业医疗诊所和公司医疗管理。利用率继续扩大。美国职业医学医师助理学会(American Academy of Physician Assistants in Occupational Medicine)成立于1981年，负责发展继续医学教育项目，并对行业和公众进行职业医学执业助理方面的教育。职业医学中PA应用的未来在于成本控制。
