MOEMA Annual Conference
2005
The Annual
Scientific Meeting of the Michigan Occupational and Environmental
Medicine Association (MOEMA) was held on September 22-23,
2005 at the James Henry Center in Lansing, Michigan.
CIHs attending
could earn up to 2 total ABIH points in the IH rubric area.
Several physicians, nurses and other related fields attended
the conference. Of the 128 attendees, about 9 per day were
CIHs.
It included
a variety of topics presented by speakers from the auto industry,
NIOSH, chemical industry, private consulting, academia and
government. Topics ranged from spirometry interpretation and
pitfalls, hearing conservation and audiogram interpretation,
the effects of dioxin and furan in the community and environment,
asbestos exposures, getting workers back to work, travel medicine,
pre-placement screening, lower back pain, and the future of
occupational and environmental medicine.
MIHS's
own member, Jim D'Arcy, Ph.D., CIH, gave an excellent presentation
on Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis and Microbial Control and
Metal Removal Fluids.
It was
a fascinating conference. It gave an insight to the same topics
IH's are presented with, except from a medical point of view.
I encourage CIHs to attend in
the future.
