We value focus on both pro-active, preventive medicine as well as timely, expeditious, and effective management of illness and injury.

Our mission is to serve as an active resource to, and representative of, WOEMA members, particularly focusing on CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION, matters of public health policy, LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY issues, and other concerns that support our advocacy for the health and welfare of workers.

The Western Occupational Health Conference (WOHC) is our signature annual meeting and appreciated as an exceptional educational event by attendees from across the country.
