title: Health care issues for specific populations of employees.
abstract: Formulation of a medical treatment plan by a physician can be influenced by an individual's current and past medical conditions, gender, and socioeconomic, racial, and genetic background. This applies equally to treating work-related injuries and illnesses. Experienced workers' compensation clinicians know that treatment guidelines developed to treat one group of workers may not be effective for other populations of employees.
