Donations to the OEM Future Fund will endeavor, whenever possible, to provide critical funding for current and prospective residents, medical students exploring the field and residency programs. Your support provides critical short-term relief—funding educational opportunities, sustaining training, and supporting alternative pathways—ensuring the next generation of professionals have the resources needed to thrive and strengthen the future of public health.

The OEM Future Fund will strive, to the extent aligned with our mission, to assist decision makers in understanding the significant impact OEM practitioners make on public health and the global benefits to training for current and future needs. In addition, we will accelerate collaboration with allied organizations and work innovatively to ensure the optimal regulatory environment exists to truly safeguard the workers we serve.

The Fund supports practitioners by delivering timely guidance and resources to keep the OEM community informed and engaged. Through the development of practical tools and outreach efforts, the Fund also helps raise awareness of occupational and environmental medicine, highlighting its vital role in protecting worker health. These initiatives empower our members to stay connected and advance the visibility and impact of the specialty.
