Abstract
New York State (NYS) is home to 7.2% of the population and producer of 8.4% of the gross domestic product of the United States. The history and the current status of occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) research, educational resources, clinical practice patterns, and regulatory framework in NYS are reviewed. Changes anticipated or already taking place in health care financing, clinical practice patterns, occupational safety and health regulations and enforcement, and funding for research and medical education at the national level, are already having an impact in OEM activities in NYS.
