| Resumen |
A review of the literature and other sources reveals that over the past 50 years, there has been continuous hope and concern for the occupational medicine. Occupational medicine became a certified specialty in the United States in 1955, growing slowly until 1970 when growth accelerated due to the coming into force of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The marked decrease in classic occupational diseases, injuries and deaths is a major triumph but may also be a factor in declining interest in specialization by physicians. Potential conflicts of interest have been at issue for over 50 years. Occupational medicine is now mostly clinical, in contrast to previous years. However, occupational medicine is a distinct and solid specialty that still offers many challenges. |
