The American Occupational Health Conference (AOHC) will be held from March 26 to 29, 2011, at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, DC. The AOHC will follow five educational tracks: OEM Clinical Practice; Management and Administration in OEM; OEM Education and Scientific Research; Environmental Health and Risk Management; and Regulatory, Legal, Military, and Governmental OEM Practice.
The opening session will begin Saturday morning, March 26, with the Sappington Lecture delivered by Mark Rosekind, PhD, of the National Transportation Safety Board, a recognized leader in evaluating the effects of fatigue on safety in transportation and in the workplace. Other AOHC highlights will include the Patterson Memorial Lecture presented by Mark Rothstein, JD, the Herbert F. Boehl Chair of Law and Medicine and Director of the Institute for Bioethics, Health Policy and Law at the University of Louisville School of Medicine, and the ACOEM Power Hour “Wake Up to Washington,” where David Michaels, Assistant Secretary for Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and John Howard, Director of the NIOSH, will discuss emerging issues in occupational safety and health.
Award presentations, the annual membership meeting luncheon featuring the induction of a new class of fellows and the transition of power to ACOEM's incoming officers and board of directors, worksite visits, semiplenary and meal sessions, optional events that include a visit to Capitol Hill, all round out this year's AOHC experience. The conference will conclude on Tuesday, March 29.
