This session is led by the specialty leaders and consultants for OEM from each of the US military services and is intended to familiarize learners with the occupational health programs of each of the services, highlighting the similarities and differences in major governing regulations. Greater understanding of these similarities and differences can benefit OEM practice on joint installations, provide insight into some of the challenges of integrating programs on joint bases, and offer suggestions of possible areas for research to address gaps in knowledge of current program status. This session was organized by the Federal and Military Occupational and Environmental Medicine Special Interest Section.
