Welcome to the OEMR Program!

The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency (OEMR) Program was among the first such programs in the United States and is recognized as one of the best Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) residencies worldwide.

We emphasize rigorous training, excellence in clinical OEM, cutting-edge research, and a diverse balance of unique OEM opportunities.

Supervision comes from an outstanding nationally- and internationally-renowned faculty with a history of producing specialists who have become leaders devoted to improving environmental and occupational health in academia, government, industry, health care, and non-governmental organizations.

Accreditation

The Harvard Chan Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), and as such, meets the requirements for licensure in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Support our program

Philanthropy is essential to our mission. The Harvard Chan OEMR Program does not receive federal Medicare funding, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) grant funding covers only a portion of our training costs. Military tuition grants are limited and, in general, do not cover all costs for residents who are on active duty.
