Occupational Health Consultations Medical Directorships On-Site Nursing Wellness & Prevention Programs Occupational Health Consultations At MEDGroup, we understand that there is much more to occupational health than treating injuries. Our physicians understand the difficulties employers have with state and federal agencies that regulate workplace health and safety issues. To help employers make sense of the complexities of those regulations, we offer occupational health consultations, including policy and procedure reviews, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and disability assistance, fitness-for-duty and return-to-work evaluations, work-site tours, job analysis assistance, etc. top Medical Directorships Some employers require a higher level of involvement from their occupational health provider.
