COEHP provides services for occupational and environmental medicine
UNM's occupational and environmental medicine requirements continue to grow as regulations increase, as research involving hazardous agents continues to expand, and as the utility of occupational and environmental medicine expertise to the University is recognized. COEHP, a center within the Department of Internal Medicine's Division of Epidemiology at the School of Medicine, serves the University in the following ways:
- More effective use of resources to address the priority occupational and environmental medicine issues at UNM;
- Providing a centralized resource for UNM departments and partners with occupational or environmental medicine issues; and
- Enhancing communication with those departments that routinely are involved with compliance of regulations and guidelines that involve medical issues.
Clinical Services
This is comprised of the EOHS primary occupational medicine care clinic and specialty consultative clinics. There is a direct line of communication to the UNMH Occupational Health Services clinic through the Medical Directorships of both clinics.
The Employee Occupational Health Services (EOHS) clinic provides pre-placement and surveillance medical evaluations, worker’s compensation injury/illness care, as well as a limited number of services to our community partners. The physicians provide consultative services upon request.
Database Services
University departments, state regulations, and federal regulations require databases that are developed and maintained within the Center. Database services include maintenance of databases, website maintenance, and database program development.
Consultative Services
Expert consultations in occupational and environmental medicine are provided to UNM departments and to external partners. These consultative services provided include such items as review or development of medical educational materials, evaluating medical documentation provided to UNM, development of procedures and guidelines for occupational or environmental health regulation compliance, and analysis of data on injuries and exposures. The consultative work includes formally recognized positions such as the medical directorships of the Office of Animal Care and Compliance and of the UNM Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) Program.
