Jobs in OEM

One of the great things about OEM is the diverse job opportunities in a variety of roles and industries. Below is a list of examples.

• Medical Centers
  • Inward-facing (employee health, for your own organization’s employees)
  • Outward-facing (evaluation and treatment of employees from smaller businesses that lack their own medical staff)
• Academics/Research
• Government
  • Federal, state, and county/local levels
  • Agencies such as CDC, OSHA, or NIOSH
• Military
• Public Safety/Law Enforcement
• Large Multinational Corporations (which can include a surprising amount of global health)
• Factories/Industrial Site Clinics
• Public Health
• Large Medical Groups
• Private/Group Practice
• Independent Consulting and Medicolegal Work
• Niche Areas (nuclear, mining, oil and gas, transportation, theme parks, etc.) 

Compared to other specialties, it is very easy to mix it up. If you get bored or tired of one job, there is ample opportunity to move to a new job with an entirely new role.
