The Western Occupational and Environmental Medical Association (WOEMA) is dedicated to ethical principles governing the practice of occupational medicine. WOEMA is a regional component of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM), the pre-eminent organization of occupational and environmental physicians in the United States.
WOEMA members are dedicated to preventing and treating occupational injuries and illnesses as well as leadership, service, and education in the field of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. WOEMA advocates for workplace health and safety, and provides guidance on issues of public policy. WOEMA provides Continuing Medical Education (CME) for its members in order to enhance the care that they provide to men and women in the workplace.
WOEMA's mission is to represent and be a resource to members in the profession and practice of occupational and environmental medicine and to enhance their efforts to promote and improve health in the workplace and the community. WOEMA conducts the annual Western Occupational Health Conference (WOHC) to keep its members informed about the latest research and developments in the field, as well as changing economic, regulatory, and legislative conditions that affect their practice.
