title: [The occupational medicine graduate training system in the field of occupational medicine].
abstract: The analysis of data on the teaching of occupational medicine in particular medical schools in Poland shows great diversity in presenting the subject to the students of medicine. It relates both to the curriculum and organizational and didactic methods and opinions and postulates expressed by the lecturers . Currently, occupational medicine is a separate subject in the curricula of four medical colleges in Poland, which does not, however, mean that in other colleges the conditions of lecturing on occupational medicine are unsatisfactory. On the contrary, the variety of problems of occupational medicine presented as part of other subjects points to the fact that this particular branch of medical science has been taken seriously. Although the present form of lectures and classes devoted to occupational medicine does enable students to get certain knowledge and competence in this field of science, it does not help shaping a proper attitude toward the subject: still too few students are interested in specializing in occupational medicine and working as industrial health service staff. In such circumstances, some activity must be undertaken to improve the process of pre-graduate studies in occupational medicine.
