Abstract

To increase the presence of occupational medicine in the medical school curriculum in Ontario, Canada, the Ontario Workplace Health Champions Program was established 24 years ago. The Program supports a Workplace Health Champion in each medical school who ensures there is occupational medicine content in their medical school curricula. The program has expanded to postgraduate training programs, with a focus on primary care. There has been an increase in occupational medicine content in medical schools in Ontario.
