International Occupational and Environmental Medicine

Summary: Definitive information source on international OEM
Review: This textbook co-edited by Jessica Herzstein and 5 other leading international Occupational and Environmental Medicine experts is the world's only OEM textbook focussed exclusively on helping Health Care Providers to ensure the Health Safety and Welfare of EXPATRIATES, BUSINESS TRAVELLERS and others living and working overseas. In nearly 800 pages, contributors from more than 30 countries provide difficult to find information in one convenient location. Highlights include extracts from SHORELAND Inc's TRAVAX Health Database, articles on legal risk in the international OEM environment, lists of peer-reviewed in-country resources, an excellent section on Emergency Medical Assistance Providers etc. This text is essential reading and Reference Material for the Medical Department, Legal Counsel and HR Department in all corporations with overseas business travellers and/or expatriates. It has now defined the standards as to what corporations or individuals SHOULD know in relation to the risks of international travel ill-health. I believe this text will become one of the key legal sources in helping to define future standards re NEGLIGENCE in the the US and overseas Courts in matters relating to adverse health outcomes suffered by business travellers while on trips or overseas postings.
