Host Nicholas O. Biasotto, DO, sits down with Matthew Cadell, DO, MPH, MBA, a seasoned expert with nearly 25 years in Occupational Medicine, to pull back the curtain on one of health care’s most misunderstood specialties.

What exactly is Occupational Medicine, and who do these physicians collaborate with? Discover the critical roles of organizations like the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the importance of industrial hygiene, and how physicians navigate the often complex world of workers’ compensation, average weekly wage, and regulatory certification.

From real NIOSH case examples to the question every clinician should consider — Should you treat workplace injuries if you’re not workers’ comp certified? — this episode is a must-listen for any health care professional looking to better understand the medical, legal, and practical sides of workplace health.
