Occupational medicine, formerly called industrial medicine, the branch of medicine concerned with the maintenance of health and the prevention and treatment of diseases and accidental injuries in working populations in the workplace. Historically, occupational medicine was limited to the treatment of injuries and diseases occurring to production workers while at work. Over the years, this changed, with employees at plants, factories, and offices becoming eligible for medical services. College or school health programs might be considered as extensions of occupational medicine.
