title: [Evaluation of the need of specialization of physicians in the field of occupational medicine].
abstract: Analysing the trends in obtaining specialization in occupational health during last 15 years an evident deterioration of formal qualifications of physicians employed in occupational health service (OHS) was observed. These data were confronted with the needs resulting both from the present model of workers health care as well as with those arising from ratification of ILO Convention No 161 of 1985. It was stated that discrepancy between the need for specialists and the actual possibilities of their training cannot be removed without radical reform of the Polish health care system in general and health service reform in particular.
