Current Activities
Administrative
As of July 1996, I gave up my prior activities in
primary care internal medicine, and became the Division Chief for the Duke
Division of Occupational & Environmental Medicine.
As of 1/9/98, I am no longer Occupational &
Environmental Medicine Division Chief.
Clinical & Academic
Primary Care In June, 1998, I carried most of my time from Occupational
Medicine back to primary care clinical medicine.
I have thus returned to the tumult and exhausting
glee of direct patient care, just about all of every day. Not much
to say about that on a web page… but it’s all-encompassing and fully
immersing.
My clinical situation is as the internist among the
Pickens Building
Family
Medicine practice, and I share patients with a great group of faculty
and residents.
As of January 1999, we have begun to admit our practice’s
patients to Durham Regional Hospital,
a community hospital which has only just recently
merged with Duke Medical Center.
It’s an interesting transition from our days as an in-patient service at
the big-house.
Occupational & Environmental Medicine
Our Occupational & Environmental Medicine group
is really a terrific team
and a wonderful group to share.
Toxic Diseases
Clinical complicated situations, including determinations
regarding exposure-related disease
Bringing Occupational & Environmental
Medicine to Primary Care practitioners.
Dose Assessment for Environmental Exposures (esp
urinary concentrations)
Chronic Beryllium Disease
Issues regarding reproductive risks linked to environmental
exposure
Prevention and screening programs
Epidemiology Investigations
Internet & Electronic resources
Electronic Outreach in Clinical and Public
Health Aspects of Occupational & Environmental Medicine
I founded the Occ-Env-Med-L maillist
and from that have developed the Web
resources for our specialty. That forum is now 5 years old, contains
nearly 2500 participants and exchanges about 300 broadcast messages monthly.
It’s the largest professional forum in Occupational & Environmental
Medicine.
I hope you like them, and that we continue to receive
interest and support from the clinical & Public Health Occupational
& Environmental Medicine community .
