Our faculty is drawn from the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine’s (ACOEM) Public Safety Medicine Section. In addition to authoring the ACOEM Guidance for the Medical Evaluation of Law Enforcement Officers, many members of this group also are members of the technical committee that writes NFPA 1582, the standard for the medical evaluation of Fire Fighters.

• Introduction
• Essential Job Functions

• Cardiovascular
• Endocrinology (Diabetes)
• Medications
• Neurology (Seizures)
• Musculoskeletal
• Mental Health Disorders
• Cancer
• Vision/Hearing
