Occupational Medicine Clinic in Palm Bay, FL

Occupational medicine doctors focus on keeping employees both mentally and physically well at work and ensuring the workplace environments are safe to conduct work with as few risks or hazards as possible. In doing so, occupational medicine doctors advise employees on how their work impacts their health and what they can do to develop healthier practices at work. As such, the particular work and concerns of any occupational medicine doctor can vary according to the hazards and risks involved within a specific industry. With that in mind, occupational medicine doctors can provide the following services:

• Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals
• Evaluation and treatment of a work-related injury or illness
• Patient education on healthy and safe working practices and environments
• Pre-employment screenings
• Psychological and psychiatric care
• Rehabilitation strategies
• Treatment for repetitive strain injuries
• Work-related injury and illness prevention

To provide our services, occupational medicine doctors must possess knowledge of workplace operations, be familiar with the toxic properties of various materials, understand the hazards and stressors associated with the industry, be well-versed in occupational health and safety regulations, and regularly conduct research into occupational health issues.

When preparing for an occupational medicine appointment, it is a good idea to be ready to share information about your past and current health status, your job and role, any hazards you face at work, and any present symptoms you are experiencing, whether they are work-related or not. You may also need to provide information concerning any medications you take, any allergies you have, alcohol, drug, tobacco use, and your family’s medical history. You may also be required to bring a record of immunizations.

Ultimately, the particulars of your occupational medicine appointment may vary according to the nature of your employment. That said, you should possibly expect some general things to take place at an occupational medicine appointment, including a complete review of your medical history, a physical examination, and various tests and screenings.

The medical history review may assess any past conditions you or a family member has had or has currently, any allergies you have, any medications you take, as well as any past hospitalizations or surgeries you have had.

During the physical examination, your occupational medicine provider may measure your height, weight, heart rate, blood pressure, and other vitals. They may also evaluate your overall appearance, the health of your heart and lungs, vision, hearing, and any other bodily function or area that is relevant to the work you are required to perform.
