ACOEM offers CME for reading selected articles in our peer-reviewed Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (JOEM). One (1) credit can be earned per article.

To earn credits, you must have an active individual subscription to JOEM for the issue in which the ACOEM Online CME course is offered. The CME activity itself must not be expired.

To access the online exam, after reading the article referenced in the title of this product and purchasing the CME product, login to ACOEM Connect. Go to My ACOEM, then Education and then Access Online Education to complete the online exam and evaluation.

Upon completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to:

• Discuss the challenges faced by occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) departments in dealing with healthcare workforce shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Summarize the new tools developed by the authors for use by OEM departments, focusing on the practical needs of small- to medium-size facilities.
• Discuss newly developed decision support tools designed for use in employees restricted by work due to exposure at home or elsewhere and in unique hospital settings that pose special challenges."

This activity is designed for physicians and other healthcare professionals who specialize in or have an interest in OEM. Advanced practitioners such as industrial hygienists, safety professionals and environmental health specialists will receive value from participating in the activity.
