Navy Environmental Health Workshop
Attention DoD Audiologists, Industrial Hygienists, Occupational Health Personnel, and other relevant professionals. This is the formal call for speakers at the 41st Annual Navy Occupational Health and Preventive Medicine Workshop.
Where: Town and Country Resort, San Diego, California, US
When:
- Pre-workshop activities start 11 May 2001
- Opening Session on Monday, 14 May 2001
- Ending 18 May 2001
Presentations should concern hearing conservation and applicable clinical topics, as a focus, but we will consider anything that an audience of audiologists, health technicians, nurses, occupational/environmental medicine physicians, and industrial hygienists would find interesting. Typical presentations length should not exceed 30 minutes, but a longer period can be arranged if it is beneficial to the learning experience.
Short courses and/or hands on training are being considered. Please let me know what interests you, whether as a receiver of training/information or a presenter. There will certainly be some level of hands-on DOEHRS-HC training, with likely emphasis on technical problem solving and utilizing DOEHRS capabilities for improved Hearing Conservation Program management.
Uniformed audiologists: One of the strongest ways to demonstrate professional competence is to present at a formal meeting like NEHC Workshop. It looks great on your job performance report, and will give you a sense of accomplishment and personal growth.
Civilian audiologists: having presented to your peers at a national meeting is a nice bullet on your QSI or SSP award.
Registration will be web-based. While this is not Navy’s year to host the tri-service Military Audiology Short Course, we hope to have other Service speakers in some abundance.
Limited speaker funding is once again available, and will be allocated with consideration of perceived merit in supporting our mutual goal of preventing noise-induced hearing loss among our operational and industrial forces.
Due date for me to receive topic and speaker information is 27 November 2000. This does not mean abstracts are due then – only presenters, topics/titles, audiovisual equipment needs, and objectives for the presentation.
Additional Workshop information is available at the Navy Environmental
Health Center.
Please call me to discuss your ideas!
