In 2014, ACOEM released a guidance statement on Occupational and Environmental Medicine Competencies. This document has the potential to guide individual members in self-assessment of their continuing education needs. It also has the potential to educate ACOEM about member priorities and guide it in setting priorities for CME and other educational activities. During this session the competencies will be reviewed and audience members will be introduced to some online prioritization tools to help them in selfassessment. The audience will be polled using smart phones and other web-enabled devices and results will be discussed in realtime. Data collected will be shared with ACOEM and the AOHC 2017 conference planning committee. Attendees should bring their smart phones or other web-enabled devices with them to the presentation in order to participate fully. This session was organized by the Council on OEM Practice. This session may be of particular interest to residents and recent graduates.
