case, ranging

from treatment, to investigation, to return to work decisions, to

serving as

expert witnesses through various administrative and legal

proceedings.

Topics will include: the role of the OEM physician; latest provable

science

associated with multiple chemical sensitivity; differential

diagnosis versus

causation assessment; and standards of " proof " in the workplace and

the

and how the occupational health professional confronts and deals

with these

differing standards.
