title: Occupational health and the family physician part 1: definition and resources.
abstract: The field of occupational health is of growing importance to family physicians, yet for many represents a nebulous field. This paper describes the main concepts and shows how a family physician can quickly obtain mastery of the field sufficient for any demands that may be made on his skill in this area. Part 1 names resources in occupational health most useful to family doctors and Part 2, to be published next month, outlines a method of taking an occupational history, and of determining the essential work structure of one's community.
