What does an occupational and environmental physician do?
As highly trained specialists, OEM physicians and other health professionals enhance the health of workers through preventive medicine, clinical care, disability management, research, and education. OEM professionals have expertise in determining the ability of employees to perform work; the arrangements of work, the physical, chemical, biological, and social environments of the workplace, and the health outcomes of environmental exposures.
They recognize that work and the environment in which it is performed can have favorable or adverse effects upon the health of workers as well as of other populations; that the nature of work can be arranged to protect worker health; and that health and well-being at the workplace are promoted when workers’ physical attributes or limitations are accommodated in job placement.
They are skilled at using the tools of preventive medicine ______ improve the health of workers and their families, and they are trained in the complex Returnto-Work process, an advanced system of health monitoring that optimizes the time in which ill or injured workers can safely return to work. The occupational and environmental physician must communicate with and inspire confidence in people on all levels.
Perhaps most importantly, occupational health professionals occupy a critical position at the center of virtually all health-related transactional activities in the workplace. They are connected to all of the other parts of this complex infrastructure—senior management, benefits and human resources, legal, worker’s compensation, government regulatory agencies, labor and unions, hospitals and public health organizations. They are a fulcrum of workplace health—understanding the needs and challenges of each of these diverse groups. They provide a unique bridge between the clinical/scientific medical community and the businessbased employer community.

A resposta correta é a alternativa A: To be responsible for a connection between the medical and the employer communities.

Vamos analisar o texto e as alternativas para entender melhor por que a alternativa A é a correta e as outras são incorretas.

Tema da questão: A questão aborda a função principal dos profissionais de saúde ocupacional, e quais são suas responsabilidades principais no ambiente de trabalho. A compreensão do texto requer a habilidade de identificar o papel central desempenhado por esses profissionais.

Justificativa da alternativa correta:

No texto, é mencionado que os profissionais de saúde ocupacional (OEM physicians) "provide a unique bridge between the clinical/scientific medical community and the business-based employer community." Isso significa que uma das principais funções desses profissionais é ser um elo entre as comunidades médica e empresarial.

Análise das alternativas incorretas:

Alternativa B: To generate a link with the main hospitals and public health organizations.

Embora o texto mencione que os profissionais de saúde ocupacional têm conexões com hospitais e organizações de saúde pública, o principal foco do texto é a conexão entre a comunidade médica e a empresarial. Portanto, esta não é a função principal mencionada no texto.

Alternativa C: To institutionalize the association of senior management, benefits and human resources.

O texto menciona que os profissionais de saúde ocupacional estão conectados com a alta gestão, benefícios e recursos humanos, mas não diz que a função principal deles é institucionalizar essa associação. O foco principal ainda é a conexão entre comunidades médica e empresarial.

Alternativa D: To work close to most government regulatory agencies, labor and unions.

Embora os profissionais de saúde ocupacional trabalhem próximos a agências reguladoras governamentais, sindicatos e outras entidades, o texto não define isso como sua função principal. A principal responsabilidade deles é a conexão entre a comunidade médica e a empresarial.
