Notes:
In 1992 the College expanded its name to become the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).
The addition of “environmental” to the College’s name reflected the fact that, by the 1990s, the principles and practice of occupational medicine had now extended beyond the confines of the workplace to encompass many aspects of environmental health – from the home to the community.
This name change was intended to reflect to workers, management, the American public and medical practitioners the breadth of expertise that ACOEM members can provide.
