Abstract
In 2019, the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) F. Edward Hbert School of Medicine celebrated the 30th anniversary of its Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) Residency Program. This unique program is the only freestanding OEM residency sponsored by a U.S. military institution and is among the largest preventive medicine residency programs in the United States. Residents from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, other U.S. Federal agencies, and the Canadian Forces, come to Bethesda, Maryland to become OEM specialists in a unique training program that includes military and civilian OEM settings. This report describes the historical development of OEM in the military as well as the development and continued operation of the USU OEM Residency Program.
